Special Features:

Chard (Beta vulgaris) is a hardy biennial in the Chenopodiacea family. Chard is a type of beet specialized for leaf production. Bright pink veins and mid-ribs with deep green leaves. Leaves are consistent with Rhubarb or Silverado chard rather than the Fordhook style and at full size can have wide, flattened stems. Frost, drought and heat tolerant. Chard can be direct seeded mid-spring through mid-summer and into fall in warmer regions. Transplants can be started indoors or in a cold frame 4-6 weeks before planting and transplanted outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Transplants result in earlier harvests. Optimal germination temperature is 55-75°F. Days to maturity from direct seeding; if transplanting, subtract 14-21 days.
