Golden Greens
Fresh greens with a touch of sunshine ☀️
Bring a splash of sunshine to your edible garden with Golden Greens. Combining vibrant, yellow-stemmed rainbow chard, tender spinach and cheerful yellow violas, this companion pot is designed to thrive together, delivering fresh, nutritious harvests with the added beauty of edible blooms.
What’s included in the Potted Companion:
Rainbow Chard (Beta vulgaris) ornamental and extremely nutritious, this colourful heirloom rainbow chard features yellow midribs for ongoing harvest and high yields.
Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) a leafy vegetable packed with vitamins and minerals. For best flavour pick the outside leaves first and use the same day.
Viola (Viola cornuta) produces masses of bold, yellow-coloured edible blooms.
Planted in a large light blue self-watering pot (28cmx26cm).
Why it works:
Rainbow chard, spinach and viola thrive in the same cool growing conditions, making them ideal companions. Their different growth habits maximise space, while violas attract beneficial pollinators and add edible flowers, creating a productive pot that's both beautiful and practical.
Grow tips & Position:
Place in full sun to part shade. In warmer weather, afternoon shade will help keep the leafy greens thriving.
As a self-watering pot, keep the reservoir topped up regularly and check the water level often, especially during hot or dry weather.
Feed every 2–4 weeks with a liquid fertiliser to encourage healthy leafy growth and continuous flowering.
Pick the outer leaves of the rainbow chard and spinach regularly to encourage continuous growth. Harvest viola flowers as needed or leave them to brighten the pot.
Benefits & Uses:
Rainbow Chard is rich in vitamins A, C and K, plus magnesium and iron to support immunity and healthy bones. Delicious in salads, stir-fries, soups, pasta dishes or lightly sautéed.
Spinach is packed with iron, folate, vitamins A, C and K, making it a nutrient-rich leafy green that supports overall health. Perfect for salads, smoothies, pasta, curries, omelettes and cooked side dishes.
Violas are edible flowers that contain antioxidants and add colour to meals. Decorate salads, desserts, cakes and cocktails with their delicate edible blooms.
