- Rainbow Chard is a vibrant and productive leafy vegetable, grown for its colourful stems and tender, nutritious leaves. With a mix of bright reds, pinks, yellows and whites, it adds real visual impact to both the vegetable garden and the kitchen. The leaves have a mild, slightly earthy flavour and can be used like spinach, while the crunchy stems are delicious sautéed, steamed or roasted.
- Easy to grow and very versatile, Rainbow Chard is suitable for vegetable beds, raised beds and large containers. It’s a cut-and-come-again crop, meaning you can harvest leaves regularly while the plant continues to produce fresh growth over a long season.
