Endive, Escarole, Dandelion Seeds

Carina is a vigorous hybrid dandelion that is a real eye-catcher! Leaves are thick, glossy, dark green and slightly wavy making for better volume. Carina is slow bolting. The ribs are pliable so it packs well for shipping. Tolerant to hot and cool conditions and can grow over winter with protection or in the south. Plant in-row 12” apart in rows that are 18” apart.

60 days from transplant. Healthy, vigorous dark green plants. Great uniformity and color.

Dark green leaf, white mid-rib. Upright growth: creamy yellow hearts. Escarole types.

The dandelion shaped chicory has appealing magenta colored stems and veins. “Imported from Italy”. Italiko is Cichorium intybus- while the leaves are shaped like a dandelion, it is more closely related to radicchio. It is easy to grow, very slow bolting, but, if it does flower, they will be blue, chicory-type flowers.

Olmos is a real step up in escarole, with broad green wavy leaves that are more upright than usual. Heads are uniform, fast growing but very slow bolting, tip burn tolerant and readily makes a blanched heart. Very uniform.

Tall, dark green, erect leaves grow vigorously. Unlike wild dandelion, it will not go directly to flower and can be grown later in the season, including as a fall crop. Can be transplanted and good for multiple cuttings.
