Look for ‘Bright Lights’, it’s easy to grow in containers and the garden, producing Day-Glo stems of yellow, pink, orange, red and striped topped by glossy, slightly wrinkled bronze to deep green tender foliage. A winner for excellent, mild taste, vigorous growth and beauty. Use fresh in salads or sautéed in pasta for a marvelous presentation. Cut stems 2″ from the crown to harvest and to produce more.
