With its dark green leaves and mild spinach-like flavor, it is perfect for gardeners who want a steady supply of fresh greens throughout the growing season.

Key Benefits

• Perpetual Harvest: As the name suggests, this variety provides a continuous harvest as you can pick leaves from the outer edges and allow the center to keep growing, offering fresh greens for months.
• Spinach Flavor: The mild, spinach-like flavor makes it a perfect substitute for spinach in a variety of dishes like salads, soups, and stir-fries.
• Easy to Grow: This variety is low-maintenance and hardy, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
• Nutrient-Rich: Like other Swiss chard varieties, Perpetual Spinach is packed with vitamins A, C, K, iron, and magnesium, contributing to a healthy, balanced diet.
• Cold-Tolerant: Can be harvested in both cool and warm seasons, tolerating light frosts and heat, making it versatile in different climates.

Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring or Fall: Perpetual Spinach Swiss Chard is best planted in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest, as it thrives in cool to moderate temperatures. It can tolerate light frost, enhancing its flavor.

Planting Details

• Depth: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep into well-drained, fertile soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds 6-8 inches apart to allow adequate room for growth. Rows should be 12-18 inches apart.
• Light: Prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade. The more sunlight it gets, the better the growth.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. A soil pH of 6.0-7.0 is ideal for optimal growth.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid over-watering as it can lead to root rot.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced organic fertilizer or compost to encourage vigorous growth. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks for best results.
• Mulching: Apply organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds while keeping the soil cool.
• Thinning: Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart once they’ve sprouted to provide sufficient space for mature plants.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: Leaves can be harvested when they are 6-8 inches long, typically within 50-60 days after sowing. Since it's a perpetual variety, you can continue harvesting from the outer leaves while the inner leaves grow.
• How to Harvest: Cut the outer leaves or individual stems for a cut-and-come-again harvest. This allows the plant to continue producing new leaves from the center.
• Storage: Store harvested leaves in the refrigerator in a plastic bag for up to one week. For longer storage, consider freezing or drying.

Perfect For

• Continuous Harvest: Ideal for gardeners looking for fresh greens all season long.
