Chard Rhubarb (Vulcan) Seeds from Mr Fothergill’s Seeds and Plants.
A very decorative variety with startling bright red stems and contrasting foliage.

Decorative, easy to grow.
Sow & Grow:
Outdoors: sow thinly April-July, where they are to crop, 2.5cm (1″) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Allow 40cm (16″) between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days.
Thin seedlings to 15cm (6″) apart. Water well until plants are established.
Regularly pick a few leaves and stems at a time, without stripping the plants, allowing them to continue growing.
Harvest: July-November.
Hints & Tips:
Decorative enough to grow in pots and flower borders.
