Gorgeous red-stemmed chard with tender, succulent leaves and thick crunchy stems. This variety performed very well and tasted great throughout our chard trial. This variety came from a collaboration between breeder Dr. John Navazio, Nash Huber of Nash's Organic Produce and the Organic Seed Alliance. Upright plants are easy to harvest and regrow quickly for cut-and-come-again chard. Red-stemmed chards are generally lower in vigor than white-stemmed chards but this one is one of the best! Chard is great for beginning gardeners - plant it once early spring and harvest it all the way into fall! Leaves are tender and can be eaten raw, but we think they are best cooked and used like spinach. We love it in sautés and stir fries where we chop and cook the stems longer than the leaves. 30 days baby, 60 days full size.
