Notes

'Rhubarb Chard' (Beta vulgaris 'Rhubarb Chard') is a vegetable for containers, low maintenance plantings, and the food garden. 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 soil. It has an erect habit and grows at a moderate rate, so it fills a pot or a bed row at a steady pace.

Pairs well with Spinach, Broccoli, Lovage, and Holy basil.
