Swiss Chard Bright Lights is one of those vegetable varieties that look so attractive, you may have trouble deciding whether to hide it back in the vegetable garden or to put it front and center with your flowers. The nutritious, glossy green leaves are born above brightly colored stems that include yellow, gold, orange, pink, crimson, lavender, or purple. The colors show up on seedlings, so you can start a flat and pick and choose which colors you want to plant in each area ? a fun chore when you are transplanting to containers for an edible ornamental display! Having an improved, lighter flavor than traditional Swiss chard types, you may enjoy chopping up these rainbow-colored greens raw in salads. Some chard aficionados believe that it is even tastier than spinach, and you can always use it as a substitute for spinach in just about any recipe. Unlike most vegetables, Swiss chard can tolerate a little shade and won?t get bitter in hot weather. Swiss Chard Bright Lights was an All America Selections winner in 1998. This packet plants: One 35-foot row.
