      I'm not sure, but I think you might be referring to a different plant to what I grew.

      I think you might be referring to what I know as perpetual spinach? The leaf beet I grow is sold as chard, but just to confuse matters, it isn't actually chard apparently, but is actually the same plant that we get beetroot from, except its a variant that is grown for its leaves rather than its roots.

      All very confusing:):scratch:

        Could well be as it was very hardy, although it did bolt in warm weather.

        Same and same, so maybe we are talking about the same stuff.

        Mine is red, orange and yellow, and some normal green but with white stems.
