Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a petiole (stem) type of chard, bred from the 'Bright Lights' variety by selecting plants with uniform purple coloration of the petioles. The plant has good vigor and is suitable for multiple leaf harvests.

The leaf blades are green, have a slightly bullate structure, and an upright orientation. The petioles are characterized by medium width, fleshiness, and a bright purple color with thin white stripes. The variety is suitable for seed saving.

The taste characteristics of the variety are described as mild, with a slightly sweet flavor and an absence of bitterness. The chard is intended for fresh consumption or culinary processing, where the petioles are used similarly to asparagus and the leaves like spinach.
