Bright Lights Mix Swiss Chard:
The Swiss Chard Bright Lights, 'Beta vulgaris (Cicla group)', has spectacular stem colors that can include yellow, gold, orange, pink, purple, or intermediate shades of these colors. Some believe the leaves of Bright Lights are tastier than spinach. The stalks crunch like celery but have a slight hint of asparagus. Bright Lights has an improved, lighter flavor and is delicious raw in salads. In warm climates, plant in late summer for fall/winter crop. Chard grows best in in well drained soil with lots of organic matter.
