What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow vibrant, nutritious greens with Rainbow Swiss Chard Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This heirloom mix produces striking stems in shades of red, pink, yellow, orange, and white, paired with glossy green leaves that brighten both garden beds and kitchen dishes.

Rainbow Swiss chard thrives across a wide range of growing conditions. It performs reliably in spring, summer, and fall, tolerating cool nights, moderate heat, and light frost. Its cut-and-come-again habit ensures steady regrowth, giving home gardeners continuous harvests from a single planting.

Compact and upright, this variety fits seamlessly into containers, raised beds, small garden spaces, greenhouses, or indoor grow-light setups. With strong germination and fast establishment, it’s an excellent choice for beginners and experienced gardeners seeking colorful, productive greens year-round.

Why Grow Rainbow Swiss Chard

  • Produces stems in bright rainbow colors for visual appeal in gardens and dishes
  • Mild baby leaves and flavorful mature leaves for fresh or cooked recipes
  • Reliable all-season performance from early planting through frost
  • Cut-and-come-again growth provides repeat harvests for months
  • Thrives indoors under lights or outdoors in beds, containers, or rows
  • Open-pollinated, non-GMO heirloom seed selected for flavor and resilience

How to Grow
Direct sow outdoors 2–3 weeks before the last frost or start indoors for an early harvest. Cover seeds lightly and keep soil evenly moist. Germination typically occurs in 7–14 days at 50–85°F. Chard grows best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Harvest young leaves for tender salads, or allow plants to mature in 55–65 days for larger bunches. Regular harvesting encourages continued regrowth and long-season productivity.

Harvest & Use
Pick baby leaves for fresh salads and wraps. Mature leaves hold up well to cooking, sautéing, steaming, and freezing. The colorful stems and robust foliage make Rainbow Swiss chard a standout crop for nutritious, versatile meals.
