As French as its name suggests, this delightful plant with its frill leaves and sweet flavour is ready to turn ordinary green salad into a gourmet surprise. It's a true heirloom, and it's so pretty that you might decide the proper place for it is in your flower garden. Pick the leaves young for sweet flavour and soft texture. Grow it in cool weather as it's inclined to bolt in the heat. In cooler climates it may last as a biennial.

Growing Information
How to Sow
If you may still get late frosts in spring, sow your chicory in containers in a protected spot. Otherwise, you can sow after the last frosts where they are to grow.
How to Harvest
Cut the leaves any time you like. Theyre a very attractive addition to winter salads. When mature, the plant will form a head much like a lettuce. Then its up to you to decide whether youll eat it just like that or whether you want to try blanching by excluding light.
