I did some further reading. Yours is actually not quite swiss chard..not
quite beet . It is something in between and I only see it available online.
The brightlights chard is a great one tho, very tasty and ornamental.

I am hoping someone knows of a local source for perpetual spinach
seeds.
I have always had to order them as cannot find anyone in Austin and
surrounding areas that sell them. Would like to save the cost of
shipping
and buy local. any help would be appreciated.

Hmmmmmm... never heard of chard being called that!
Learn something new every day!

For anyone that wants to grow it and wants to "cheat",
The nursery on Manchaca ("It's about Thyme") has them in 4" pots and
they are the Bright Lights variety of rainbow chard. I bought a few and
they are doing very well!

I bought red chard in 4" pots from them last fall that lasted the winter
and 6 plants are giving me one meal per week for 2 people.

Gods I love chard!!!
