Description
I am mad keen on chicory. They are incredibly hardy, totally invaluable plants for the winter vegetable patch and not nearly widely enough grown in Britain. Chicory is good raw in a mixed leaf salad and even better cooked when the leaves lose their bitterness.
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.
Care Tips
Can be grown in container pots or window boxes. Keep moist at all times, to avoid it becoming bitter.
