Beta vulgaris
A vibrant rhubarb-red chard with dark green leaves. Great for salads and stir-fries. Easy to grow in all types of soil.

Growing Info
Sowing: For an early crop, sow into containers in February/March undercover and transplant as the soil starts to warm in April/May. Alternatively, sow in modules or directly in the soil from April/May. Sow direct or into modules from July to September for an overwinter/early spring harvest in a tunnel or under a cloche.
Spacing: 20-30cm
Harvest: Harvest the large outer leaves throughout the year.
Tips: Chard is great for cut and come again harvesting. We like to harvest the larger outside leaves from several plants at once whilst leaving the smaller leaves ones to grow.
Germination: 89% 2026
