Notes
'Silverado' Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris 'Silverado') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. 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. It grows upright at a moderate pace and has refined white stalks. Low maintenance care makes it easy to fit into a small bed.
Pairs well with Breen lettuce, Cilantro, and Fernleaf dill.
