Endive is a leaf vegetable belonging to the daisy family. Can be eaten raw or cooked. This lettuce like plant is a full leafy green and is ideal for late crops, which can be harvested into the winter in warmer climates, as it is very cold hardy. This variety has a sharper flavor and is usually more crisp and bitter than typical lettuce; it forms a delicious mild flavoured heart. 

  • Requires rich, moisture-retentive soil with plenty of compost dug in.
  • Prefers full sun to part shade.
  • Frost tolerant variety.
  • Feeding not usually required.
  • Single Plants:  spacing: 9" (25cm) each way (minimum)
