AnnualCold hardy and delicious in every way! This green was used for many years as a garnish until people finally started getting smart and began eating it! The leaves are slightly bitter with a nice deep earthy green flavor. Amazing in salads, blended up for green cold soup, or juiced. Rich in vitamins, fiber, and minerals. Very similar to lettuce, but once you try endive; you will feel as if every salad is bland. The flavor is intense and robust.
I planted my seeds once the weather turned cooler into 1" plugs because these dont need to be sized up and can go into the garden really fast. I started them a couple weeks ago, and they're just about ready to go into my 9b/10a raised beds. They have nearly perfect germination, and I was pretty precise as i dont like to waste seed and am stingy with it. You could just as easily broadcast these outside and just make sure they stay pretty moist until they start to sprout. Then they're pretty much hands of until you need to thin. In another month or two, we will be swimming in full heads of enliven, but I'll be enjoying it as thinnings and baby leaves maybe 3 or so weeks.
Fast growing. Very tasty.
Been a consistent producer even in hot weather.This has become my go to salad green year round (zone 8B).
Beautiful endive easy to grow. It looks wonderful and it tastes good. I grow this endive in 5 gallon pots without any problems.

Great fertilizer. Used for the first time last year for my fall bulbs and they were stunning and strong come spring. Planting another 250 bulbs this fall so came back for more bulb fertilizer. I also use the Trifecta. Can’t go wrong with any of Luke’s amendments.
Great germination and very prolific.
I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
