Notes
'Chard, Yellow' beet/chard (Beta vulgaris 'Chard, Yellow') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Its lofty, bright green leaves grow on yellow stems, and the upright plants add color to a bed.
Pairs well with Tropicana lettuce, Teddy dill, and Flashback Mix calendula.
