Description
Swiss Lucullus Giant Chard (Beta vulgaris var. cicla) is an exceptionally productive heirloom renowned for its massive, thick white stems and heavily crinkled, pale green leaves. Named after the Roman epicure Lucullus, this classic variety delivers a wonderfully sweet, mild flavor with none of the bitterness found in some greens. Highly resilient and slow to bolt, it provides a continuous, heavy harvest from early spring straight through to late autumn frosts.
