description for "Swiss Chard: Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens"
Swiss Chard is a very ornamental, yet nutritious, vegetable variety. Dark red stalks look like rhubarb and can be prepared like asparagus. The dark green, red-veined, crumpled leaves can be used in salads or cooked like spinach. Produces delicious stalks and leaves all season long, even during winter. Days to maturity: 60. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
