Rainbow Chard

Beta vulgaris

Story: chard is an all-star of the kitchen garden. It produces leaves for ages and is hardy and delicious.

When to sow: sow your seeds from spring to late summer-June to October, depending on when you would like to eat it. We successional sow.

Requirements: moist, nutrient-rich soil in a sunny space.

Harvesting: cut of leaf stems as needed. Chard can be harvested when young, for small tender leaves, or later for a cooking green.

Please remember, if you’re an individual grower you can order up to 3 packets of seeds. If you order more than this, you will receive just three packs to begin with. This is to ensure we get plenty of data in return and to keep our stocks sustainable for years to come.* 

*Community groups and Experienced Growers can order larger quantities, please email us if this is the case.

If an item is out of stock we will send a close alternative.
