Days to Maturity: 7 to 10 (microgreens); 60 (swiss chard)
Ruby Red Swiss Chard Microgreens, an heirloom variety, adds color, flavor, and a nutritional boost to salads, sandwiches, or any dish that would benefit from a delicious, mild, spinach flavor and eye-catching ruby red shoots topped with dark green leaves.
Quick and easy to grow, microgreens can be grown in the garden seasonally or indoors on a bright, sunny windowsill or in a warm greenhouse all year round. For a continuous crop, sow seeds every 10 days. Harvest microgreens at the seedling stage, around 7 to 10 days after germination, at about 2 inches tall.
