Rhubarb Swiss Chard is as beautiful as it is productive. Brilliant crimson stalks, midribs, and veins contrast dramatically with dark green, heavily crumpled, slightly savoyed leaves — a plant that earns its place in the ornamental garden as much as the vegetable bed. Mature plants grow to about 2 feet tall and are vigorous, long-season producers that deliver fresh greens from early summer all the way into fall, and year-round in mild climates.
Young leaves are tender and excellent in salads; mature leaves are outstanding braised, sautéed, or added to soups. A great container variety, and recommended by Utah State University for home garden performance.
Direct sow outdoors 2–4 weeks before last frost, or start indoors 4 weeks before transplanting. Sow seeds ½ inch deep, 2–3 inches apart, in rows 18 inches apart. Thin to 6–8 inches for full-sized plants. Water consistently. Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage continuous production — the plant will keep producing new growth from the center. Can be sown again in late summer for a fall harvest.
