Rainbow Chard seeds for the kitchen garden that intends to actually produce rainbow chard this year. Rainbow Chard is the only vegetable that works equally well in the kitchen garden and the flower border, and knows it. Rainbow Chard is ornamental and edible in equal measure -- colourful stems that improve both the garden and the plate. Each packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed -- removing the oxygen that causes standard paper seed packets to lose germination viability within approximately one year. State law requires a 3-year viability label on sealed packaging. NASA research on hermetic seed storage indicates viability of up to 10 years under proper conditions. Every packet is non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it earns its Japanese woodblock print artwork.
