Description
Fast and vigorous growing smooth-leaved endive that forms dense, heavy heads. These bleach their inner leaves themselves, becoming more tender. Requires a warm, sheltered location with deep, medium-heavy, humus-rich soil. Caution. Sowing before June may cause the plant to shoot if temperatures are too low.
Non hybrid
Frostproof
Growing tips
Endives are light germinators, so cover the sowing only weakly.
