Mixed Chard Seeds - The Rainbow of the Vegetable Patch

Brighten up your garden and your plate with our Mixed Leaf Chard, a stunning heritage blend featuring a vibrant spectrum of ruby red, golden yellow, brilliant orange, and alabaster white stems. This "superfood" variety is highly valued by gardeners for being as decorative as it is delicious. With its large, glossy green crinkled leaves and contrasting stalks, it provides a sophisticated, multi-coloured harvest that lasts from early summer well into the winter frosts. Whether grown in a dedicated veg plot or tucked into a floral border, this mix is a powerhouse of productivity and nutrition.

Key Features

• Vibrant "Rainbow" Aesthetic: A hand-selected mix of colours that adds an ornamental, artisanal look to your garden beds and kitchen creations.
• Exceptional Hardiness: One of the most resilient greens you can grow; it is remarkably heat-tolerant in summer and incredibly frost-hardy, providing fresh greens when other crops fail.
• Two-in-One Harvest: Enjoy the tender, earthy leaves as a spinach substitute and the thick, crunchy stalks as a delicious alternative to asparagus or celery.
• Continuous "Cut-and-Come-Again" Cropping: Harvest the outer leaves regularly, and the plant will continue to produce fresh, new growth from the centre for months on end.

Gardener's Tip

The Secret to a Year-Round Harvest! Chard is incredibly versatile; you can sow it thickly and harvest "baby leaves" for salads in just a few weeks, or space them out to grow into full-sized architectural plants. To keep your plants productive, always harvest the oldest leaves from the outside first, leaving the inner "heart" to continue growing. In mid-summer, if the plant begins to look tired, simply cut the whole plant back to about 5cm above the ground, and it will rapidly flush with a brand-new crop of tender, colourful leaves.
