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.
