| In zone 4-5, this chard does well and lasts long into the cold fall. Sown by seed, it grows well and in NH's climate does not bolt or get bitter. Vibrant colors, excellent shape, and little need for mid-season foliar fert or side bed dressing. Superb in raised beds with rich humus. Re-grows well after cutting. |

| This chard stood well into the fall. It has good "plate appeal" because the colors stay after cooking. |

| This is a wonderful chard; now the only one I grow. The only problems are that the bunny rabbits like it too, so I keep it behind a 4' lattice fence. |

| I bought my seeds from a discount web site, so they were last years leftover seeds. They sprouted well and were the easiest vegtables I have grown yet. I had fun trying to sneek them into my families meals. I had a lot more of the green and white color and only a few red and yellow. That could have been because of the age or the place I purchased the seeds from. But you can't beat 10 cents a packet for seeds. |
