Notes
'Oriole' Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris 'Oriole') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. 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 erect plants carry golden-orange stems that add color to a bed.
Pairs well with Great Lakes lettuce, Peione parsley, and Cilantro.
