(45 days) Open-pollinated. Developed by Wild Garden Seed out of their Chicendive project, originally a cross of chicory and endive. We offered Chicendive seed for many years and are excited about this new iteration, which Wild Garden describes as a “mixed population of endivish forms.” Be a detective in your own garden, and discover all the surprising shapes and textures an endive can take. Expect variation not only in leaf and head forms, but in cold tolerance. Self-pollinating: save seeds from your favorite plant, and you should get similar offspring. With repeated selection you’ll soon have a stable variety. OSSI. Breeder Royalties. ① NEW!

Culture: Performs best in cool weather, spring or fall. Direct seed every 3 weeks, or start indoors 4 weeks before setting out, and space 1' apart for heads.
