Swiss Chard Seeds – A Hardy and Delicious Heirloom
Swiss Chard Seeds produce one of the most popular heirloom Swiss chard varieties, known for its mild, sweet flavor and robust growth. A member of the Beta vulgaris family, Lucullus chard features tall, pale ivory stalks that resemble celery, with deeply savoyed, dark green leaves that add texture and beauty to any garden and dish.
Lucullus is an easy-to-grow vegetable that thrives in various climates, making it an excellent choice for home gardeners. Its ability to grow all summer without bolting ensures a continuous supply of fresh, leafy greens throughout the season. Whether you're planting a backyard garden, a raised bed, or a container garden, Lucullus Swiss chard is a resilient, high-yielding crop that provides fresh greens for months.

Swiss chard is often compared to perpetual spinach due to its long-lasting production and mild taste. However, Lucullus stands out because of its tender leaves, thick white stems, and exceptional heat tolerance. Here’s why this variety is a must-have in any home garden greens collection:
✅ Mild, sweet flavor – Great for fresh salads, sautéing, soups, and stir-fries.

✅ Cold-hardy and heat-tolerant – Adapts to various growing conditions.
✅ Fast-growing – Harvest baby leaves in just 30 days or wait for mature growth in 50-60 days.
Lucullus Swiss chard is a perfect addition to gardening seeds collections for those who love organic Swiss chard and want a continuous supply of homegrown greens.
