How to Grow
Direct sow outdoors 2–3 weeks before the last frost or start indoors for transplanting. Cover seeds lightly and keep soil evenly moist. Germination typically occurs in 7–14 days at 50–85°F. Swiss chard grows best in full sun to partial shade with loamy, well-drained soil. Harvest baby leaves early for tender greens or allow plants to mature in 55–65 days for larger bunches. Regular harvesting encourages continued production throughout the season.

Harvest & Use
Pick young leaves for fresh salads, smoothies, or quick sautés. Mature leaves offer excellent flavor for cooked dishes and remain productive even with repeated harvesting. With its reliable regrowth, Swiss chard delivers a steady supply of nutritious greens for family meals all season long.
