West Coast Seeds - Swiss Chard - Bright Lights

Bright Lights Swiss Chard is a colourful, open-pollinated Swiss chard variety grown for its vibrant stems and tender, edible leaves. Plants produce a mix of bright stem colours, often including red, pink, orange, yellow, white, and gold, making it useful as both a productive leafy green and an ornamental edible crop.

This variety matures in about 55 days and can be grown through much of the season. Young leaves can be harvested as baby greens, while mature plants produce larger leaves with crisp, colourful stems. Harvest the outer leaves as needed and allow the centre of the plant to keep growing for continued production.

Swiss chard is a good choice for gardens, raised beds, and containers. It is generally easier to grow than many leafy greens and is more tolerant of warm weather than spinach or lettuce.

Growing Notes: Sow directly outdoors once the soil can be worked, or start indoors and transplant after hardening off. Swiss chard seeds often produce more than one seedling per seed cluster, so thin seedlings as needed for proper spacing. Keep evenly moist for best germination and steady leaf production.
