    PEPPERMINT

    Peppermint is a new and extremely attractive two-tone Swiss chard. which produces spectacular coloured leaves once the plants have established. Graduating from flamingo pink to white and with deep green coloured leaves, this variety of chard will not only add flurries of colour to your vegetable patch but can decorate any flower border it is added to.

    This 'second early' Nantes-type hybrid is simply delicious! The smooth, cylindrical roots, up to 8in in length, have an excellent colour and very little core. Strong top growth makes lifting the roots easy, and the plants are remarkable for their health and vigour.
