Can you get 'Fordhook Giant' in the US? This is the variety of silver
beet
(chard) I've grown for decades.


yes, at least i just saw it in the display the
other day and it was from Burpee so it should be
available a fair number of other places too.

does it get red stems?


No. White stems - prolly contibutes to why we call it 'silver' beet.
