Our grower crossed green-leafed and red-leafed chicory varieties and created this beautiful mix of many types: an exciting journey of discovery!
The chicory family includes endive, frizzy endive and various types of chicory. Characteristic is the more or less present "bitterness," once reviled and now highly valued. Let a plant "bolt": chicory flowers are usually beautifully blue in color and smell of vanilla!
