Swiss Chard

Improved Rainbow Mix Swiss Chard: An improved mix of red, pink, white, yellow, orange and striped colors. Uniform and upright habit makes for clean production and easy harvesting. More solid colors and uniformly narrow stems.
Days to maturity: 30 days baby leaf, 60 full size


I purchased Swiss Chard from High Mowing Seeds for 2009. I plan on 8 plants, 4 per square foot.

March 13 (7 weeks prior to last freeze): I started the seeds in Jiffy Strips with a popular potting soil, two seeds per square. Most of the seeds germinated and I cut the excess off with a small pair of scissors. They germinated fairly quickly, within a week if I remember correctly.
