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

Harvest & Use
Pick young leaves for fresh salads, smoothies, or quick sautés. Mature leaves offer excellent flavor for cooked dishes and remain productive even with repeated harvesting. With its reliable regrowth, Swiss chard delivers a steady supply of nutritious greens for family meals all season long.

Cool Season Crop

Swiss chard can be grown in both spring and fall. In spring, sow seeds as soon as the soil can be worked and the danger of frost has passed. In fall, sow seeds 6-8 weeks before the first expected frost.

Swiss chard grows best in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting.

Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep and 2 inches apart in rows spaced 18 inches apart. You can also sow seeds in containers and transplant them outdoors when they are 3-4 inches tall.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week if there is no rain.

Harvest Swiss chard leaves when they are 6-8 inches long. Cut the outer leaves first, leaving the inner leaves to continue growing. You can harvest Swiss chard continuously throughout the growing season.
