High Mowing Organic Sunset Chard Seeds

Bright golden yellow stems that vein beautifully into glossy, broad, green leaves. Plants are large and uniform, displaying a beautiful bouquet of deep green leaves on cheerful golden stems. Performs well in variable weather, exhibiting exceptional quality as a microgreen, when harvested as a baby leaf and when grown to full size for bunching. Can be mixed with other colors for a classic rainbow appeal.

Sowing Information:

  • Light: Full sun to part shade
  • When to Start Inside: RECOMMENDED. Transplants can be started indoors or in a cold frame 4-6 weeks before planting and transplanted outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Transplants result in earlier harvests.
  • When to Sow Outside: Chard can be direct seeded mid-spring through mid-summer and into fall in warmer regions. 10-12 weeks before your average first frost date for fall crop.
  • Seed Depth: 1/2 inch
  • Seed Spacing: For babyleaf sow ~40 seeds/ft in 2-4” bands
  • Row Spacing: For full size 18-24", for baby leaf 2-4” between bands
  • Thinning: For full size leaves thin plants to 4-8" depending on desired leaf size
  • Days to Germinate: 10-14 days
  • Days to Maturity: 30 days for baby greens, 60 full size

Growing Notes:

  • Harvesting: Harvest full size leaves at any stage. Continuous harvests will encourage new growth. Use floating row covers to extend the season. Cool with water immediately after harvest; stores best in plastic bags in the refrigerator.
  • Variety Info: Bright golden yellow stems, gorgeous green leaves, open-pollinated.
  • Growing Info: Chard appreciates loose well drained soils with acidity between 6.2 and 6.8, but will tolerate 6.0-7.5 and a wide range of soil textures. Heavy clay soils can be helped by the addition of organic matter.
