Peppermint Stick Swiss Chard Seeds offer a stunning, colorful addition to your garden with their striking hot pink and white striped stalks, set against vibrant green leaves. These eye-catching plants are perfect for both edible landscaping and ornamental use, thriving in vegetable gardens or flower beds. Plant seeds in early spring after the frost, in well-worked, fertile soil with full sun exposure. Space seeds 1 inch apart, cover them lightly with soil, and firm it down for good germination. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them to 8-10 inches apart to allow room for these large, vase-shaped plants to grow. Peppermint Stick chard is heat and bolt resistant, making it perfect for hot weather, and can even tolerate light frost. Enjoy baby leaves in salads, or let plants mature and harvest tender stalks and leaves for sautéing, soups, or stuffing. Easy to grow and adaptable, this chard can be enjoyed for months, with year-round potential in mild winter areas
