Silverbeet Rainbow Chard
Produces attractive coloured stems in yellow, gold, orange, pink, violet and striped green and white.
The vegie patch doesn’t need to be a sea of green! Yates® Silverbeet ‘Rainbow Chard’ produces striking coloured stems in yellow, orange, pink, violet and striped green, adding vibrant colour to the vegie patch or pots.
Silverbeet (also known as chard) contains lots of vitamins and minerals, is a good source of fibre and is low in calories. The nutritious leaves and stems are great for a stir fry, pasta, soups, savoury muffins and quiche and young and tender leaves can also be added to salads.
Here are the simple steps to growing your own rainbow chard:
Pest watch: silverbeet can be attacked by voracious caterpillars. Protect plants with Yates Success® Ultra Insect Control, which is derived from beneficial soil bacteria. Spray silverbeet plants every 1 – 2 weeks, including the undersides of foliage where caterpillars often hide, while caterpillars or their damage, are noticed.
Silverbeet can also be damaged by snails and slugs. Particularly while plants are young, protect them with a light sprinkling of Yates Blitzem® Snail & Slug Pellets.
