Planting & Care

Sow Rainbow Swiss Chard seeds directly in the garden about 2–4 weeks before the last expected frost, or start indoors 4–6 weeks earlier for an earlier harvest. Plant seeds about ½ inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 6–12 inches apart to allow good air circulation and room for growth.

Provide consistent moisture throughout the growing season, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves when they reach 6–8 inches long, leaving the inner leaves to continue growing for a prolonged harvest. Rainbow Swiss Chard is relatively pest-resistant and can be grown in containers as well as garden beds.
