Notes
'Peppermint' Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris 'Peppermint') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The stems have bright candy stripes, so it adds color to a bed. It is also easy to care for.
Pairs well with Parris Island lettuce, Moss Curled parsley, and Chocolate Miracle Tomato tomato.
