Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring or Fall: Ruby Red Swiss Chard thrives in the cooler months, making it perfect for planting in early spring or fall. Can tolerate light frosts, which can enhance its flavor.

Planting Details

• Depth: Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil.

Watering and Care

• Fertilizing: A light application of organic fertilizer or compost will promote healthy growth, especially during the growing season.
