Five Color Silverbeet Swiss Chard (Bright Lights) Seeds

Add a rainbow of color to your garden with this beautiful Rainbow Chard

Five Color Silverbeet Chard (aka Rainbow Chard, Bright lights Chard) originated in Australia. This Chard was offered through Thompson; Morgan from 1970 through 1980. The product was dropped and appeared to vanish from the American market after a few of the colors began to decrease.

After years of searching, a vibrant and true 5 color variety (pink, yellow, orange, red and white) again became available in the US after it was re-discovered in Australia.

The Five Color Silverbeet Chard greens have a buttery texture and a mild, sweet taste. They can be substituted for spinach in any recipe. The stems can be cooked or eaten raw. like celery.

This chard provides a delicious, nutritious and beautiful addition to your vegetable or flower garden.
