Loading... Please wait...Attractive red stemmed chard with tasty, soft textured leaves that can be used as for spinach in soups, pasta dishes and as a braised vegetable. Easy to grow and can be progressively picked. Plant direct preferably, or transplant seedlings after the risk of frost. Can be grown all year in warmer climates.

We're in Berrima, Southern Highlands, NSW. We grow this variety in our flourishing school garden at Berrima Public School. We plant one crop of this chard in spring and it lasts 12 -13 months, cropping heavily all the way through. Gorgeous colour for the winter garden too.
