Description

Introducing Giant Chard, scientifically known as Beta vulgaris var. cicla. This leafy green has its roots in the Mediterranean and is celebrated for its stunning appearance. Its broad leaves come in vibrant colors like deep green, crimson, and golden yellow, making it an attractive addition to gardens and kitchen menus.

To grow Giant Chard successfully, it s important to provide the right conditions. It prefers well-draining soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. While it thrives in full sun, it can also tolerate some shade, offering flexibility in your garden.

Plant the seeds directly in your garden bed, spacing them about 12 inches apart. During the 7-14 day germination period, make sure the soil stays consistently moist. As the plants grow, thin them to a spacing of 18-24 inches to give them room to thrive.

When it s time to harvest, focus on removing the outer leaves. This encourages the plant to keep producing fresh greens, providing you with a steady supply of nutritious options for your meals.
