50 to 60 days — Also known by its synonym, 'Five Color Silverbeet', 'Rainbow Chard' is an Australian heirloom that is a tender variety with orange, yellow, pink, white, and red stalks, which make it very ornamental. 'Rainbow Chard' is an example of a variety that was nearly lost, but relocated and eventually re-released. Each packet contains one gram, which can vary from 30 to 50 seeds.

Planting Instructions: As soon as the soil can be worked in early spring, in a location that has well-drained soil and receives about eight hours of full sun daily, sow seeds ½-inch deep, every 1 to 2-inches, in rows spaced 12 to 24-inches apart.

Cover with loose soil and keep moist until seedlings appear. Water weekly after that and cultivate to control weeds. When plants are 1½ to 3-inches tall, thin plants to eight inches apart.

Start harvesting individual leaves when they are about eight inches in length. The leaves become tough with age.
