Chard- Perpetual Spinach

Beta vulgaris var. cicla

Perpetual Spinach Leaf Beet, also known as Spinach Beet Chard, and Umaina in Japan, is a hardy, vigorous, and heat tolerant producer, of smooth, shiny and dark green leaves with a white midrib ("leaf stem"). This variety was bred to have minimal stem and maximum leaf production and is a great choice for gardens with limited space, because it is one of the most productive and low maintenance garden vegetables. Here in Tampa, we pretty much grow this one year-round. One of my favorite qualities of this vegetable, Perpetual Spinach forms multiple growth nodes along its main stem way earlier than it's chard cousins. What that means: you will have more access to more "baby leaves" on each plant, which is my favorite way to eat chard.

  • “All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
