Italiko Rosso Chicory

New for 2025 - Cichorium intybus - Dense rosettes of tall leaves, they look like big dandelions with vibrant red stems. Mildly bitter, the greens are delicious braised or cut young as part of a mesclun mix. Succession sow for a continuous supply of baby leaves. Hardy perennial, they don't bolt until their second year. Their famous blue flowers are an event when they do.
