Pretty to look at and great to eat! The Swiss Chard Ruby Red has sweet and tender rhubarb-like stalks that are decorative and tasty. You will love the color of Ruby Red. The deep crimson stalks and veins are contrasted by dark-green heavily crumpled large leaves. The leaves are tastier, some believe, than spinach and the stalks crunch like celery but have a slight hint of asparagus. The Ruby Red Swiss Chard can TOLERATE SHADE and will not get bitter in hot weather.

Mature plants will withstand CONSIDERABLE COLD.
