Rainbow Bright Lights Swiss Chard Seeds bring vibrant color and delicious flavor to your garden and plate. This award-winning variety boasts a stunning array of stalks in shades of yellow, crimson, gold, pink, white, and even orange, set against green leaves. Originally from New Zealand heirloom stock, Bright Lights chard offers a milder, sweeter flavor than typical varieties, making it both a tasty and ornamental choice for your garden. Sow seeds in early spring, once the danger of hard frost has passed, in well-worked, fertile soil with full sun. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows 10 inches apart, firming the soil to ensure good germination. Thin seedlings to 10-12 inches apart for optimal growth, using early thinnings for fresh salads and greens. Chard is frost-tolerant and can grow year-round in mild climates. Harvest once plants are well-established with 6 to 8 stalks, and enjoy both the crunchy, succulent stalks and tender leaves. These versatile greens can be sautéed, steamed, or used in dishes like lasagna, soups, or stuffed with fresh lemon for a delicious, healthy treat.
