Ruby Red Swiss Chard is a striking heirloom variety that produces large, glossy dark green leaves with vibrant, deep red stems and veins. The leaves are tender when young with a mi ld, earthy flavor and slight sweetness, while the colorful stems add a pleasant crunch. It is excellent sautéed with garlic, wilted into soups and pasta, steamed as a side, or used in quiches and stir-fries. This variety is a good choice for Utah because it is cold-hardy, productive in both spring and fall, and performs reliably in our variable cool seasons and alkaline soils with good drainage and full sun. It's great for containers. Show more
