The plant is great at breaking up clay soils as it has a very strong, thick tap root. 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 and 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.
