t red stem and midvein, dark green leaf. Eye-catching, dandelion-type chicory, definitely on the wild side. The flavor is bitter, with background sweetness.

Cultivate by starting like lettuce by direct seeding or transplanting. Suitable for growing anytime during the season. For full-size bunches, space 15-20cm apart and clip leaves at any stage but especially when young, less than 25cm tall. For salad mix, direct seed thickly. Unharvested plants will eventually make a flower stalk with the characteristic blue chicory flowers. Apply liquid fertiliser every two weeks.
