Dark green escarole with a delicate, nutty flavor. Pretty plants are cold and hot tolerant, with frilled leaves that are slightly more delicate and mild than those of endive. Grow, harvest, and serve as you would lettuce. 50 days from transplant. OP Photo courtesy of Johnny’s Seeds.
Care: Plant 10-12″ apart in rows 18-36″ apart in full sun, cool moist soil. Harvest heads as soon as mature for best flavor.
Cold-tolerant plants that stand in the field for harvest as needed in late fall and early winter. May overwinter in mild seasons, or die back and sprout from the root in spring for an extra-early crop. See our Fall & Winter Vegetable Guide for specific planting/harvest times & freeze-out temperatures.
