Metchosin Farm’s Swiss Chard Mix is a stunning blend of colourful, tender-stemmed varieties, selected over 15 years to combine the best traits of traditional rainbow chard, Bright Lights chard, and sugar beet chard varieties. With deep greens, reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks, this mix is both highly ornamental and a vital staple for year-round productive gardens.
Rich in nutrients and antioxidants, Swiss chard thrives in both summer and winter gardens. Its mild, delicate flavour makes it a versatile ingredient, whether enjoyed raw in salads, sautéed, or added to soups and stews.
Where You Can Grow Swiss Chard Mix
Swiss chard grows well in Zones 3 to 9, thriving in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. It makes an excellent addition to raised beds, garden borders, and even ornamental plantings due to its dramatic foliage.
History and Traditional Uses
Swiss chard has been cultivated for thousands of years, originating in the Mediterranean before spreading to Europe and North America. Traditionally valued for its nutrient-rich leaves and robust nature, it remains a staple in home gardens for its reliability and flavour.
Canadian Zone Information

Zones 5–7: Direct sow in late spring to early summer; mulch well for a winter harvest.
Zones 3–4: Plant in late spring and use floating row covers to extend growth into fall.
How to Grow and Harvest Swiss Chard Mix
Sowing: Sow seeds 1–2 cm deep, spacing plants 20–30 cm apart.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist for tender, sweet leaves.
Harvesting: Begin harvesting outer leaves when they reach 15–20 cm, allowing the plant to continue producing.
Frost tolerance: Swiss chard tolerates light frosts, and mature plants can survive mild winters with protection.
Tips for Saving Your Seeds
Allow plants to bolt: In their second year, chard plants will send up flower stalks.
Harvesting seeds: Once seed heads are dry and brown, cut them and allow them to dry further.
Threshing and cleaning: Crush heads to release seeds and remove debris.
Storage: Store seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. When properly stored, they remain viable for up to 5 years.
