What's so special about our endive?

Some endive varieties are best grown in spring or summer. This one is perfect for the fall.

It grows slowly and can handle harsh weather or cold temperatures. It produces large heads with a light yellow heart.

Sowing and growing endive

Growing endive is simple: put a few seeds in a hole and keep the soil mix moist. After they come up, thin out the seedlings and leave just 1 plant per hole. 4 endives fit in 1 square patch.

Watch out for snails: they like young endive plants.

Always water the base of the plant, never the leaves. Dense endive heads collect water, which means they can get moldy or rot.

Step-by-step sowing and growing instructions are in the Planty Gardening app.

How do you use endive?

Endive leaves are nice and spicy. Young leaves are delicious raw in salads or mashed up with potatoes, cheese, and bacon. You can also roast endive if you like - just don't cook them too long.
