1 x Chard ‘Bright Lights’ Packet of Seeds

A sensational ornamental chard that will brighten up your vegetable plot or patio containers – and true to its name, ‘Bright Lights’ can also provide colourful contrast in herbaceous garden beds and borders.

Cropping prolifically over a long season, it is a true ‘cut and come again’ variety; the leaves will regenerate 1-2 weeks after harvesting the whole plant (leaving 2.5-5cm base), or remove just the outer leaves and allow the heart to grow on. The plants are robust enough to withstand light frosts and will continue to give good quality leaves until the colder winter weather sets in.
