Endive Green Curled Ruffec
 90 days for maturity
 Heirloom

A classic heirloom that adds a tasty zing to any salad. Grows well indoors or out! An excellent fall crop. A light freeze sweetens the flavor. Keep moist to avoid bitterness. If leaf blanching is desired, tie the outer leaves together about 2-3 weeks before harvest. Be sure leaves are dry.
    
Harvesting Tips: Individual leaves can be cut for baby greens. Heads should be cut at the base.
