Know before you buy
Rainbow chard is quite adaptable and can thrive in containers as long as the pot is at least 10-12 inches deep to accommodate the root system. Ensure your container has good drainage and receives plenty of sunlight.
You can expect to harvest your first tender leaves in about 60 days after planting. Because this is a cut-and-come-again crop, you can continue harvesting throughout the season as long as you leave the central crown intact.
You can do both. While direct sowing is common once the soil warms up, starting them indoors 2-3 weeks before your last frost date can give you a head start on the season.
The entire plant is edible. The stems are crunchy and flavorful, similar to celery or bok choy, and they hold their vibrant colors well even after cooking.
For optimal growth, space your plants 8-10 inches apart within the row. If you are planting multiple rows, keep them 18-24 inches apart to ensure good airflow and easy access for harvesting.
