Chard 'Swiss' (Beta vulgaris var. cicla), also known as Swiss Chard, is a nutritious leafy green known for its broad, dark green leaves and thick white stems. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, producing a long-lasting crop from spring to autumn. Mild and earthy in flavor, Swiss chard can be eaten raw in salads or cooked like spinach. It's easy to grow, highly productive, and tolerant of both heat and light frosts.
