Additional information: Swiss Chard is known for its ability to offer a continuous harvest, where leaves can be picked as needed (cut and come again), or the entire plant can be allowed to mature and harvested whole. This plant can tolerate some frost and is therefore suitable for planting in both spring or fall. It may also reseed itself in early spring, especially in warmer climates. Swiss Chard is not only easy to grow and disease-resistant but also adaptable to poor soil and drought conditions. The leaves are versatile and can be used raw in salads, or cooked such as steamed, stir-fried, similar to how spinach is used. The stalks can also be consumed like celery. Lucullus is an heirloom variety of Italian chard, noted for its large, heavily crumpled leaves and robust growth, thriving in both heat and cold conditions.
