A Vibrant and Disease-Resistant Garden Showstopper

Discover the eye-catching Chard Peppermint Pink, a stunning variety that brings a splash of color to your garden and plate. This unique chard matures in just 30-60 days, offering a quick turnaround from seed to harvest. Its most distinctive feature is the brilliant pink and white striping on the stems, reminiscent of candy canes, which inspired its “peppermint” moniker. Topped with dark green leaves, this chard variety stands out not only for its appearance but also for its superior disease resistance.

Chard Peppermint Pink is a versatile addition to any garden, offering both ornamental appeal and culinary value. The vibrant stems add a pop of color to salads, stir-fries, and side dishes, while the nutritious leaves can be used similarly to spinach. This variety’s excellent disease resistance means less worry for gardeners and a more reliable harvest. The combination of showy appearance and robust growing characteristics makes Chard Peppermint Pink an ideal choice for both novice and experienced gardeners looking to add visual interest to their vegetable plots.

In the garden, Chard Peppermint Pink grows to an impressive height of 24-30 inches, making it a standout in raised beds or container gardens. Plant these chards 8-12 inches apart to allow ample space for growth. Each 3.5-inch pot typically contains 3-5 plants, providing good value and allowing for multiple harvests throughout the growing season. The plants’ upright growth habit and striking coloration make them an excellent choice for edible landscaping, blending beauty with functionality.

Growing Success Tips:

  • Ensure consistent moisture, especially during dry spells
  • Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage continued production
  • Provide partial shade in hot climates to prevent bolting
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks for optimal growth

Chard Peppermint Pink offers an unbeatable combination of visual appeal, culinary versatility, and garden performance. Its disease resistance and striking appearance make it a valuable addition to any garden, whether you’re growing for aesthetics or for the kitchen.
