Ruby Red Swiss Chard: The Garden Star That Keeps on Giving
If you're thinking about trying Ruby Red Swiss Chard, I’d say go for it...this one’s definitely earned a spot in my garden.
The plants grew fast, gave me big, tender leaves, and I’ve already gotten several harvests out of them. Even after cutting, they bounced right back with new growth, which makes them perfect for cutting again and again. Plus, those bright ruby-red stems look amazing in the garden and make picking them kind of fun.
One thing I noticed is that the leaves cook down a lot (kind of like spinach.) So if you think you’ve picked enough, grab a few extra leaves. The plants can handle it, and you’ll be glad you did once everything hits the pan. Even though they shrink down, they still have a great texture and honestly taste better than spinach to me.
I liked this variety so much that I ended up going all in on Swiss chard. Along with Ruby Red, I planted Fordhook Giant and a Rainbow mix (all from MIGARDENER.COM) so I can have all those different colored stems throughout the season. That’s how sold I am on it. They do not disappoint.
If you want something that looks great, produces a lot, is easy to keep harvesting, and works in all kinds of dishes, Ruby Red Swiss Chard is a solid choice. I’m already planning to plant even more because it’s become a regular in my summer meals.
Definitely recommend it.

Excellent Quality Seed Potatoes
These seed potatoes arrived early in spring which allowed me to get them into the grow bags by my region’s earliest planting date. They were solid and good quality upon arrival, unlike some I’ve received from other online sellers. Thanks MI Gardener for always sending quality products!
They grew wonderfully and are healthy plants. Looking forward to a great harvest.
