Leaf Beets were probably a food source long before the beet-root was ever developed for consumption. They are a very versatile group of plants; they can be harvested at baby leaf stage for salads or left to mature into colourful ornamentals. Although related to Spinach they tend to be more bolt resistant and suffer from fewer disease problems. Tozer breeding has concentrated on the Red or Rhubarb Chards, although our selections of the traditional Swiss Chard and Spinach Beets remain exceptional.
A multi-coloured, highly attractive swiss chard, containing a formula mix of hybrid and synthetic hybrid types. A very novel vegetable variety.
Bright yellow petioles and veins in leaves add colour to salads as a baby leaf. Can also be used as a mature plant.
Bright orange petioles which contrast well with the vibrant green leaf. Particularly impressive as part of a mixed leaf salad.
Our own maintenance of this favourite for spring or July sowing. Attractive mid green, spear shaped leaves. Stands well without bolting.
Magnificent red petioles, mid rib and veins add colour to salads as a baby leaf.
The leaves are more rugose than standard Rhubarb Chard and more uniform in leaf colour, this variety also has far fewer green ‘off-types’ and a greater standing ability.
Rounder leaf than standard Rhubarb Chard with intense red veining, as with Elite this variety has far fewer green ‘off-types’ than the standard.
A classic swiss chard with large white midribs and dark green leaves with flavour. For spring and summer sowing.
