Orange Fantasia Swiss Chard (Beta vulgaris cicla)
This Swiss chard's stalks, midribs, and veins are a striking and unusual bright carrot-orange colour, which contrasts beautifully with the dark green shiny leaves. Cooks love Fantasia Orange because of its savoury leaves, crisp stalks, and the way it keeps its colour even when cooked. After 30 days, harvest the baby green leaves. Plants reach a height of 24” when fully grown. Fantasia Orange takes a long time to bolt.
