Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla

Ruby Red Chard is a classic heirloom silverbeet grown since 1857, valued for its striking deep red stems, which become particularly vibrant during cooler weather. The glossy dark green leaves have a mild, pleasant flavour and are equally at home in the ornamental garden as they are in the kitchen. Young leaves are delicious fresh in salads, while mature leaves and colourful stems are excellent steamed, sautéed, added to soups, pasta dishes and stir-fries. This productive cut-and-come-again variety provides an extended harvest throughout the cooler seasons.
