Swiss Chard Ruby Red Rhubarb Org Hrlm

Ruby Red Rhubarb is an Organic Heirloom and a very popular red chard. The sweet and tender rhubarb like stalks are decorative, nutritious, and tasty. The deep crimson stalks and veins beautifully contrast with the dark green heavily crumpled large leaves. The bright red stalks make this variety look like rhubarb. The leaves are tastier than spinach, and the edible stalks crunch like celery with a slight asparagus flavor. Plant after spring frosts to avoid bolting. It prefers sun but tolerates shade and won't get bitter in hot weather. It makes a beautiful display in containers and among flowers. Plant in early spring, 2 4 weeks before the average last frost date, or when soil temperature reaches 50 degrees.
