Suttons Swiss Chard Bright Lights

The most ornamental of swiss chards, ideal for the flower border. Simply pick the delicious leaves or stems as required for use in salads/garnishes, or steamed. A nutritious, delicious and ornamental alternative to spinach.

Sow thinly direct into finely raked, moist, warm soil at a depth of 13mm in rows about 30cm apart. Germination 10-12 days. Thin as necessary to leave 23-30cm between plants. Grows best in good soil which has not recently been manured. Water well during periods of dry weather to prevent bolting (running to seed).
Sowing -> Cropping: 12-14 weeks.
