Sow where the plants will grow, or start them in small pots and transplant them once established.

These measurements are only a guide. Growing is not an exact science, so do not worry if every seed is not perfectly placed.

Grower tip: Each seed can produce more than one seedling. Thin out crowded plants and eat the young leaves rather than lettingthem go to waste.

Growing

Chard is easy, hardy and forgiving. Water during dry spells and remove older leaves if they get tired. It tolerates cooler weather well and can keep producing for a long season.

Pots & Space

Chard grows well in pots and raised beds. Use a container at least 25 cm deep. For baby leaves, plants can be grown closer together. For larger leaves and stems, give each plant more space.

Harvest

Pick young leaves as needed, or harvest larger outer leaves once the plant is established. Leave the centre of the plant to keep growing. Chard can crop for months with regular picking.

No Grow, No Fee

We want your seeds to grow. If you follow our sowing instructions, give them a fair chance, and they still do not grow, we’ll put it right.

Eligible customers can choose either a refund for the seeds that did not grow, or replacement seeds of the same value.
