Swiss Chard Seeds, Five Color Silverbeet:
Description: (Beta vulgaris). A beautiful chard mix of brilliant pink, yellow, orange, red, and white. This chard originated in Australia. Very mild, ornamental, and tasty. Great for market growers and specialty markets. Also known as rainbow chard, it’s pretty enough to plant in the flower garden; so delicious and one of our favorite greens!
Description: (Beta vulgaris). A particularly delicate and tender Swiss chard that stands up to a range of weather and pests. This is believed to be the best tasting of all chard varieties, being both sweet and tender! Use for baby greens or harvest the entire heads for bunching. Plants are best when cut at 7 to 12 inches tall.
Swiss Chard Seeds, Fordhook Giant:
Description: (Beta vulgaris). This variety was introduced in 1924 by W. Atlee Burpee. It has large, glossy, dark green leaves and thick, white stalks. A hardy, productive and very tasty Swiss chard.
Swiss Chard Seeds, Japanese Mountain Spinach:
Description: (Beta vulgaris) This wonderful Swiss chard variety from the mountains of Japan is one of our favorites due to its resistance to heat and flavorful rich leaves. It has the hardiness of Swiss chard in perfect balance with the tender sweetness of spinach. It is very easy to grow in warm and hot weather. Its edible stems and leaves can be used as a substitute for spinach, either boiled or raw in salads.
Swiss Chard Seeds, Perpetual Spinach:
Description: (Beta vulgaris var. cicla). While this variety belongs to the same species as chard and beets, it has distinctive differences. The taste is more like a true spinach than an ordinary chard, and the leaves look like spinach too—flatter and more pointed than chard, with slimmer stems. Very longstanding in the garden, yielding from late spring through autumn if planted early. Seldom bolts during its first year.
Description: (Beta vulgaris). An improved rhubarb chard developed in Switzerland. Very attractive and uniform red chard, this variety has great flavor and is perfect for market gardening.
