Beta vulgaris var. cicla

Peppermint is in a class by itself. Bright white petioles dressed with pink stripes from bottom to top contrast brilliantly with dark green savoyed leaves. Peppermint creates a visual pop that will catch any eye and is perfect for specialty markets and home gardeners alike. Use this bolt tolerant chard as an ornamental plant, an edible plant.. or both!
