Description

Ruby Red Swiss Chard – Ruby Red Beauty

Dark green heavily crumpled leaves contrast with deep crimson stalks and leaf veins. Beautiful and striking colors from this 1857 heirloom.

History

Both leaf beets and root beets were developed possibly by the Romans from the wild sea-beet, which occurs in coastal regions of Europe and western Asia. Swiss Chard is the same species as the garden beet root and sugar beet but is grown only for its leaves.

Uses

Used by chefs and home cooks for fresh salad greens as well as boosting soup and stews. The thick but tender stalks are edible as well.

Growing Tip

Swiss Chard does not bolt in hot weather the way spinach does. It also is great in cold weather surviving many frosts.
