What you need to know to Plant & Grow
This chicory blend thrives in cool weather and is best enjoyed when young.
Planting: Direct sow seeds in a sunny spot every two weeks from early spring to early summer, or sow later in summer for a fall crop. Sow seeds 6 mm deep and 2.5 cm apart.
Care: Once seedlings are established, thin them to a final spacing of 30 cm, with 45 cm between rows. Keep the soil evenly watered. The peak taste and texture are achieved when the leaves and stalks are young, so harvest them frequently.
