Swiss Chard Seeds - Peppermint

The multifunctional vegetable that will create a mouth-watering display

A new and extremely exciting variety, Chard Peppermint is a very attractive two-tone Swiss chard. Stalks graduate from flamingo pink to white, with deep green, savoy type leaf. A multi-functional vegetable, this alluring chard will not only add colour to the veg patch, but also looks stunning in the flower border. Reaching heights of 61-70cm (24-28"); spread 41-50cm (16-20").

Nothing will go to waste, as everything is edible on the Chard Peppermint. Its leaves can be used just like spinach or cabbage and mid-ribs can be cooked as separate veg or shredded and added to soups and casseroles. Harvest your chard from July through to October and add this delicious variety to your favourite autumnal recipes.

Growing Information

Sow thinly direct into finely raked, moist, warm soil at a depth of 13mm (½") in rows 30cm (12") apart. Germination 7-14 days. Thin as required to leave 23-30cm (9-12") between plants. Grows best in good soil which has not recently been manured. Water well during periods of dry weather to prevent bolting (going to seed).

Sowing Information

Direct sow Leaf Beet seed outdoors from March to August. Grow Swiss Chard in a well prepared, moist, fertile seedbed in full sun or partial shade. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (½") in drills 30cm (12") apart. Thin seedlings to 7cm (3") apart for 'baby leaves' which will be ready to harvest approximately 50 days from sowing. For larger chards/leaves thin to 15cm (6") apart, or 23cm (9") for mature plants.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Very Large items

If ordering any large items marked large lorry items  a surcharge of £5 per item will be applied. These items are also not available to areas and postcodes shown under non standard deliveries. We may need to contact you regarding delivery so please provide a contact number with all orders.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days.
