How to grow
Swiss chard is a versatile and hardy leafy vegetable that can be grown year-round in the UK. It’s prized for its brightly coloured stems and nutritious leaves, which are packed with vitamins and minerals. Swiss chard thrives in cool weather, making it an ideal vegetable for the UK climate. Here’s a guide to help you grow Swiss chard successfully in your garden.
There are several varieties of Swiss chard to choose from, each offering different colours and flavours. Some popular varieties include:
Choose a variety based on your aesthetic preferences and the size of your garden or plot, as some varieties can grow quite large.
Swiss chard is adaptable and can grow in various soil types, but it prefers fertile, well-drained soil to thrive.
Swiss chard can be directly sown in the ground or started indoors, though in the UK, it’s often best to start directly outside once the weather warms.
Swiss chard prefers a sunny to partly shaded spot, making it a great choice for most UK gardens.
Swiss chard grows best with consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.
Swiss chard is a nutrient-hungry plant, so regular feeding is essential for healthy growth and a good yield.
Swiss chard is a low-maintenance crop, but a few simple care tasks can help it thrive.
Swiss chard is relatively pest-resistant, but it can still be affected by some common garden pests and diseases.
Swiss chard is a cut-and-come-again vegetable, meaning you can harvest leaves continuously throughout the growing season.
Swiss chard is hardy and can be overwintered in the UK, especially if you live in a milder region.
Guide To Plant Sizes
A wide range of our varieties come in this size. Grown in individual cells with a bio-degradable membrane will break down in the soil, no need to remove before planting. These are large plugs than our other sizes and can be planted straight into their final position or pot and grow on to form larger plants that can be planted later in the season. Protect from frost if necessary.
