Product ID: 703D
Multicolor chard - 1998 All-America Selections winner.
Stems of many colors including gold, pink, orange, purple, red, and white ... with bright and pastel variations. Lightly savoyed, green or bronze leaves. The taste is milder than ordinary chard, with each color a bit different. Grow from transplant - individual colors may then be separated out - or direct seed. Suitable for production year round, but somewhat less frost hardy than normal for chard. The late New Zealand amateur breeder John Eaton developed Bright Lights, and Johnny's selects and maintains the different color stocks and produces the seeds. Decorticated (rubbed), sized seeds. Avg. 29,500 seeds/lb. Packet: 210 seeds.
Days to Maturity or Bloom: 28 baby, 55 bunching
