BETA VULGARIS SUBSP. VULGARIS

Swiss Chard

Swiss Chard

Swiss Chard is a leafy vegetable that is commonly grown in backyard gardens, but also is used as a fall attractant for deer and other wildlife. The green leaves and red stalks are highly nutritious. Not to be confused with rhubarb, swiss chard is an annual crop that provides an attractively colored, glossy-leaved wildlife forage. Humans can it eat it too!
