A must-have desert island plant

I’ve grown this delicious, tender and very long-cropping, leafy green for several years, but realised how truly remarkable it was in the summer of 2018 when, despite the drought, this NEVER bolted. All other chard varieties, as well as spinach (including perpetual) ran to flower, but not ‘Lucullus’ - bred for Australian drought and heat. Passionately recommended.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.
