Description

The heirloom standard for vigor and flavor. ‘Fordhook Giant’ Swiss chard produces glossy, crinkled green leaves with broad white ribs and tender texture. The flavor is rich yet mild, improving as the weather cools.

Plants grow up to 2 feet tall and yield continuously through the season. Highly tolerant of heat, cold, and poor soil, it’s one of the most reliable greens a gardener can grow.

Introduced by Burpee in 1924, ‘Fordhook Giant’ remains the benchmark variety—dependable, delicious, and enduring through every season.
