How to Grow Organic Pink Flamingo Swiss Chard Seeds:
Pink Flamingo Swiss Chard is a colorful, cool-season leafy vegetable with bright pink stems and glossy green leaves. Direct sow outdoors in early spring as soon as soil can be worked, or in late summer/early fall for a cooler-weather crop; in hot climates, sow during the cool season. Choose full sun to light shade and well-drained, moderately rich soil. Sow seeds 1–1.5 cm (½ in) deep, spacing about 5–8 cm (2–3 in) apart, with 30–45 cm (12–18 in) between rows. Keep the topsoil evenly moist until germination, usually 7–14 days. Swiss chard seeds are clusters, so multiple seedlings may pop from one “seed” — thin seedlings to 20–25 cm (8–10 in) apart for full plants, or leave closer if harvesting young leaves.

How to Care for Organic Pink Flamingo Swiss Chard:
Water consistently; chard likes steady moisture for tender leaves but doesn’t want soggy soil. Mulch helps keep roots cool and reduces bitterness in warm spells. Feed lightly: mix compost in before planting, then side-dress with compost or a balanced veggie fertilizer every 3–4 weeks, especially after heavy harvesting. Harvest outer leaves anytime once they’re 15–20 cm (6–8 in) tall, cutting at the base and leaving the center to keep producing; you’ll get multiple harvests for months. In hot weather, give afternoon shade and extra water to slow bolting and keep stems sweet. Watch for leaf miners, aphids, and caterpillars; remove affected leaves early and keep airflow good. In mild climates, chard can overwinter and regrow; in colder zones, it handles light frost and often tastes sweeter afterward.
