58 days. Just in time for the holidays comes this hot-pink-and-white chard, topped with richly savoyed, forest-green leaves packed with nutrition and flavor. The ideal edible ornamental, it’s great for the fall, winter, and spring garden!
Peppermint is a lively variety, with tall, stately stalks striped pink-and-white on the exterior and colored a deep, intense shade of fuchsia on the interior. The leaves are lush as well, creating a gorgeous effect, particularly in the winter garden or container.
Swiss Chard is a splendid addition to salad, and keeps its pink tones even if lightly steamed. It goes well in cold-weather soups, stews, and casseroles. But Peppermint is so beautiful you may have trouble cutting it for kitchen use!
Plant extra of this edible ornamental, so you can enjoy it all season in the garden as well as on your table! Packet is 100 seeds.
