These Rainbow Stems are So Pretty You May Forget the Harvest!
Swiss Chard Bright Lights
Great in containers or even in the border!
A 20-inch plant with stalks of yellow, orange, pink, crimson, purple, white, or green -- many with stripes as well! Some even keep their color after cooking!
60 days. These brilliantly-colored stems are so beautiful that you may forget to harvest the succulent, sweet leaves! Electric yellows, pinks, crimsons, oranges, purples, whites, and greens -- some even striped! -- festoon the 20-inch stems. Many keep their color even after cooking, and all are delightfully festive!
Great in containers and showy enough for the flower garden, Bright Lights received an AAS award and is already a classic asked for by name in nurseries and garden centers. Like all Swiss Chard, it grows readily from seed, and will regrow if leaves are cut back to 2 inches from the crown. Pkt is 125 seeds.

Hardy, Colorful & Tasty
Looking for ways to add greens into our diet, so I planted these last year. Beautiful, colorful centerpiece in the garden and they are quite tasty. I added them to soups mostly. Chopped it all back and it came back better than ever this year. Very vigorous!
