In a Nutshell:

* The stalks -- which can be white, yellow, red, purple, and pink
* Consistent growth rate, can be grown year round, but can be less frost hardy than normal for chard.
* Fordhook is a well known and very popular variety of Swiss Chard. It is cold hardy as well as tolerant of heat.
* The large stalks are topped by deep green leaves. Excellent for use in salads or steamed.
* Requires full sun to part shade
* Full of vitamins and nutrients
