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.
Have not planted them yet ! It’s -9 in Erie Pa
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.
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
