ORGANICALLY GROWN SEEDS! Good selection of the age-old spring and summer endive. Also suitable for autumn cultivation, but yields a bit less heavily.
The chicory family includes endive, frizzy endive, and various types of chicory. Characteristic is the more or less present "bitter note", formerly reviled and nowadays highly appreciated. Let a plant "bolt" sometime: chicory flowers are usually beautiful blue in color and smell like vanilla!
