Easy to grow - i have far more than I know what to do with so I’ve begun giving it away to neighbors. Beautiful plant grown along side red lettuce and mustard greens. Great side dish sautéed in garlic and oil with some salt and pepper. Grown in late fall/early winter here in zone 9 b. Will grow again next year for sure!

Zone 5b. The spring sowing of the Celebration Swiss Chard seeds grew decently in my vertical planter. I cut a few stems at a time and allowed the plants to continue to grow throughout the summer and into early fall. I attempted another fall sowing, but those plants did not take.

Beautiful and tasty plants that add so much ornamental value to my garden. I’m only growing them in containers right now but a line of these plants will be a rainbow in the garden. Highly recommend.
The picture doesn’t do it justice but the pink and white stemmed one is so bright and pretty in person.

I have been using Epic seeds and in particular these i have been using Botanical Interest seeds and in particular these Swiss chard seeds for over five years. I’ve planted them both as edges in my raised beds and pots on my deck. They are beautiful, delicious and have never had blights of any kind. I most recently made a delicious quiche with them. You can’t imagine how pleased I was to stumble onto Epic gardening on YouTube and realize they were connected to the seeds.
