Homegrown beetroot and chard (or leaf beet) seeds are simply delicious and easy to grow. They can generally be sown from March to July/August and will give you a good crop of vegetables to keep your salads bright and fresh.
Swiss Chard 'Lucullus'Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens, Leaf Beet, Spinach Beet Swiss Chard ‘Lucullus’ is a particularly prolific variety offering fantastic value. This RHS AGM variety produces an abundance of wide, white stems which are deliciously succulent when cooked like asparagus, and served with butter. The large, tasty leaves make a flavoursome alternative to spinach, and if left to flower, the flower stalks can also be cooked and eaten like sprouting broccoli. Initially cropping from mid-summer to late autumn, this tasty leaf beet will re-emerge after a normal winter, to produce an unbelievably early spring crop. Height: 50cm (20”). Spread: 40cm (16”).

Swiss Chard 'Fantasy'Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens, Leaf Beet, Spinach Beet Arguably the best tasting Red Chard with a mild, juicy flavour and, unlike many Red Chards, has no harsh aftertastes. With excellent tolerance to downy mildew, Swiss Chard 'Fantasy' is ideal for successional sowings through the spring and summer for a delicious crop of both ‘baby leaf’ and mature plants. Height: 50cm (20”). Spread: 40cm (16”). More info |
Swiss Chard 'Bright Yellow'Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens, Leaf Beet, Spinach Beet The beautiful, broad golden stalks of Swiss Chard ‘Bright Yellow’ are a striking and colourful addition to the vegetable garden and look equally at home in the flower border. The sweet stalks can be steamed as a vegetable or, when young, eaten raw in salads. This superb RHS AGM variety is slow to bolt and has good winter hardiness. Initially cropping from mid-summer to late autumn, this tasty leaf beet will re-emerge after a normal winter, to produce an unbelievably early spring crop. Height: 50cm (20”). Spread: 40cm (16”).
