Beta vulgaris

About
A beautiful and very productive variety of two tone pink and white stems. This variety was given to us by our friends at Trill Farm Garden, who said it was the best chard they had ever grown (and they have grown a lot of chard). Very strong and healthy plants with great consistency. A real winner for the veg patch or market garden. (Approximate seed count - 100)
