Description

Swiss Chard Duo comprises one packet each of Bright Yellow and Rhubarb Chard.

Swiss Chard Bright Yellow

Beautiful, broad golden stalks are a striking and colourful addition to the vegetable garden and the flower border or containers. The sweet stalks can be steamed as a vegetable or, when young, eaten raw in salads. Slow to bolting, good winter hardiness.

Rhubarb Chard

A colourful and tasty form of Swiss Chard with rich ruby-red leaf stalks and dark greeny purple foliage. Produces an abundance of large, tasty leaves and wide mid-ribs. Cook the succulent mid-rib like asparagus and serve with melted butter. Easier, and some consider tastier, than spinach. If the plants are left to flower, the flower stalks can be cooked and eaten like sprouting broccoli.
