Notes
'Northern Lights' Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris 'Northern Lights') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and low maintenance plantings. 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 soil. It grows erect and reaches up to 24 inches tall. The plant spreads 9 to 18 inches, so space it with room to grow.
Pairs well with Black Magic kale, Cilantro, and Alpha calendula.
