Rhubarb Ruby Red Swiss Chard:
The Swiss Chard Ruby Red/Rhubarb, 'Beta vulgaris (Cicla group)', 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. In warm climates, plant in late summer for fall/winter crop. Chard grows best in in well drained soil with lots of organic matter.
