Quick Facts (Grow Guide)
| Botanical name | Cichorium endivia var. crispum (‘Green Curled Ruffec’) |
| Sun | Full sun to part shade (afternoon shade in heat) |
| Sowing method | Direct sow early spring & late summer; or start indoors 3–4 weeks pre-transplant. Sow 2–3 seeds per inch (~2–3 cm); thin after emergence. |
| Sowing depth | ⅛″ / 3 mm (lightly cover) |
| Spacing | Thin/plant 10–12″ / 25–30 cm; rows 12–18″ / 30–45 cm (closer for baby leaf) |
| Germination | ~7–14 days at ~60–70°F / 16–21°C (cool soils are best) |
| Soil | Moist, well-drained, moderately fertile; even moisture reduces bitterness |
| Harvest | Cut baby leaves young; for full heads, harvest when firm. To blanch hearts (milder flavor), loosely tie outer leaves 7–14 days before cutting. |
Ways to Use
- Bistro salads (frisée), mixed greens, and hearty bowls.
- Pair with citrus, soft cheeses, nuts, and mustard dressings.
- Use baby leaves for milder flavor; blanch heads for tenderness.
What You’ll Receive

Pro tip: Endive prefers cool, steady growth — succession-sow every 2–3 weeks, water evenly, and provide light shade in summer to prevent bolting and bitterness.
