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.



"Thank you so much to the staff for helping pick out our plants and pot them."

"One of my favorite places to get plants! The people there are always friendly and helpful. They are pet friendly, so I always bring my dog. She can be a bit much to handle in public, so I don’t take her out often. BUT whenever I go to Bath the people there always help me out with her! Every time I go to Bath I leave happier and with a new plant!"
