Chicory Catalogna Greens
Days to Maturity: 55 days
Quantity: Approximately 1g or about ~750 seeds, (sows 18-24 feet)
This well-known Italian chicory features deeply cut, dandelion-like leaves with light green mid-ribs. More upright than the frillier varieties, it reaches up to 16 inches tall, though it's best harvested while still smaller for optimal flavor. Ideal for cooler weather, this variety adds a nice, slightly bitter note to your dishes and is perfect for growing in the spring or fall.
Growing Instructions: Grown like lettuce and sensitive to hot weather. Thin plants to 8-12 inches apart in rows 18 inches apart. May be blanched in 3 weeks by tying up the outer wrapper leaves, but must remain dry inside the wrapper. Blanching increases crispness, tenderness, and removes bitterness caused by hot weather. For prolonged harvest, dig plants in late fall with root ball intact and store at about 50°F in a root cellar.
