Rhodos Très Fine Maraîchère Endive

An improved strain of the Très Fine Maraîchère Frisee we've offered for years, this voluminous self-blanching Endive grows a hefty rosette of deeply cut, slender outer leaves surrounding a tender, creamy heart. It grows easily and quickly, attracts almost no pests, resists bolting and makes cute baby greens! It is fabulous paired with wild blueberries, Mandarin orange sections, sliced avocado and softer, more buttery baby leaf Salad Greens, and dressed with our addictive Maple Shallot Salad Dressing. (OP.)

One packet of about 150 seeds

  • Information
  • This ancient family includes popular "continental" greens, most preferring cool weather and evenly moist soil. You may sow in the spring as soon as the soil can be worked, when the soil is about 45F degrees. However, late summer sowing for fall and winter harvest may be more successful. Wild at heart, most Chicories prefer to be direct-sown in moderately fertile soil; too much added fertilizer, especially nitrogen, can cause them to bolt. With all varieties, keep soil lightly moist until seedlings emerge. Chicories have varying degrees of bitter flavor and their dense texture adds desirable dimension to salads.To broaden the range of texture and flavor in your garden and salads, don t forget to plant some of these specialty Salad Greens: Arugula, Asian Greens, Chervil, Claytonia, Cress, Dandelion Greens, Endive, Escarole, Frisee, Giant Red Mustard, Komatsuna, Lettuce, Mache, Mibuna, Minutina, Mizuna, Orach, Radicchio, Salad Blends, Sorrel, Spinach, Swiss Chard, and Tatsoi. Deer resistant.

    Average seed life: 2 years.
