Swiss chard Rhubarb (Small 6 Cell)

Swiss Chard 'Rhubarb Red' Description:

• Height: Typically grows to about 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) tall, with a spread of about 18 inches (45 cm).
• Growth Habit: Known for its vibrant red stems and large, dark green leaves. The stems resemble rhubarb, hence the name, and the plant is often used for both its tender leaves and colorful stems in cooking, particularly in salads and sautés.
• Flowering: Swiss chard usually does not flower until its second year, producing small, greenish flowers on tall flowering spikes in mid-summer. It is generally harvested before flowering to avoid bitterness, as flowering can make the leaves taste less sweet.
• Care: Prefers full sun to partial shade, well-drained soil, and regular watering. Swiss chard is quite cold-hardy and can be grown throughout the season, even in cooler weather.
