Lucullus Swish Chard has a sweet and mild flavor. Leaves are wide and crumpled with white ribs. This is a high-producing and delicious variety of Swiss Chard, and is especially heat-tolerant.

Swiss Chard is a nutritious, green, leafy vegetable that can be easily added to all kinds of recipes. While the chard leaves are green, the stems of the plant can be different colors (such as red, pink, or yellow).  Swiss Chard is perfect for early spring or fall growing, since it can handle cool temperatures and still thrive.

You may wish to soak Swiss Chard seeds for a few minutes before planting.  Doing this can help speed up germination.  Plant seeds in soil that is at least 50F, in a location that will receive part shade to full sun (more sun is best). Swiss Chard does not require a lot of upkeep, but be sure the soil is adequately moist with even watering.

To harvest  Swiss Chard leaves, cut off the outer stalks or the whole plant above the soil line. Swiss Chard will re-grow  for you to harvest again.
