Organic curled endive for crisp salad greens
curled endive seeds offer a reliable way to grow a strongly curled, frisée-style leaf vegetable for the kitchen garden. This organic variety, Grosse Pancalière, forms a flat, well-filled head with finely cut leaves that add texture to open ground salad greens. Also known as frisee endive seed, it is a popular choice for mixing with radicchio and other leaf lettuces in seasonal salads. The plants stay compact at around 20 cm tall, making them suitable for beds and rows where a neat, uniform crop is preferred.
