Super productive variety
Easy to grow
I am mad keen on chicory
This traditional variety of chicory is one of the hardiest and easiest to grow from seed anytime in the year. Leave it to heart up, or eat it as a cut-and-come-again leaf in a mixed salad bowl.
Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.
