Chicories are a big favourite in our household, and this is one of our favourites. It grows very well on our heavy clay soil in this North facing garden. Germination is always pretty much 100% with this (and indeed all Franchi seeds), and the seedlings grew well. We use the thinnings raw in salads, and keep a couple of plants in one row for leaf picking. The rest we grow on and they produce very big, tightly hearted plants that you can eat raw or cook. either way they taste excellent! They stand well into the Winter, and I grow a late sowing in the greenhouse when the tomatoes are done so that we have some leaves for salads.
