Jim’s Favorite Swiss Chard Seeds

TPF212 Five Color Silverbeet ( Bright Lights )

A beautiful Chard, its colors are brilliant (pink, yellow,
orange, red and white.) This chard originated in Australia.
Very mild, ornamental, and tasty. Great for market growers and
specialty markets and pretty enough to plant in the flower
garden, so delicious, one of our favorite greens! (Sold in
stores as “Bright Lights”)

1A032 Perpetual Chard

50-60 days. This European chard is smaller than the garden
chard that is commonly seen in America but it is much more
productive, with smooth dark green leaves and slender green
stems. It is drought and frost tolerant and slow to bolt. It
produces a long perpetual harvest. If you only plant one salad
green in your garden this year, it should be Perpetual
Chard.

3458 Peppermint Swiss Chard

A new offering from Johnny Seeds. Bright, candy-striped stems. Vivid pink-on-white striping on the petiole. Glossy, dark green leaves make for a striking contrast with the brilliant white veins. Deep leaf savoy for higher leaf volume. Long, strong petioles and upright habit make for quick and easy harvesting and bunching. Selected for strong disease tolerance and high bolt resistance. Peppermint is more than a novelty item; its strong agronomic qualities make it an outstanding performer. 60 days. Plant Variety Protected.
