60-75 Days to maturity. Cichorium endivia crispum. Pancaliere Endive Vegetable Seeds. Non-GMO, annual, open-pollinated seeds. A curled leaf endive from the north of Italy that produces bulky heads with dark green, frizzy edged leaves with pale mid-ribs, and almost self-blanching, creamy white hearts. A RHS Award of Garden Merit winner in 1996. Best as early spring or fall/winter crop where summers are hot. Will overwinter in mild winter areas. Tie up for a week before harvesting to further blanch center leaves. This also improves the slightly bitter flavor.
