Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard
Fordhook Giant is an heirloom variety of chard first introduced by W. Atlee Burpee & Company in 1924. For the last hundred years, this well-loved variety has been prized for its large, crumpled, dark green leaves that reach up to two feet in length. Vigorous, robust plants yield ceaselessly from spring until fall, even surviving some of the first fall frosts (longer if some protection is provided). The thick yet tender, savoyed leaves have a pleasant, mild flavor that is reminiscent of spinach and are likewise well-suited for sauteing, braising, or fresh eating when young. White midribs are often chopped and prepared similar to asparagus. Approximately 60 days to harvest. Each packet contains a minimum of 100 seeds.
