Fordhook Giant - Swiss Chard Seeds - Organic

HEIRLOOM, ORGANIC.

Introducing the Fordhook Giant - Swiss Chard. This heirloom vegetable was introduced in 1934 by W. Atlee Burpee and Company and named after their famous Pennsylvania farm. Broad, dark green, savoyed leaves with white veins make this an attractive addition to your garden. The plants grow 24-28 inches tall with thick white 2.5 inch wide stalks. They are prolific, providing an abundance of greens throughout the season - even tolerating light frosts! Swiss chard is excellent for baby greens in a salad or cooked as a side dish. It's also good for poultry feed. 2g ~ 150 seeds.
