Chicory 'Grumolo Verde' - Vita Sementi® Italian Seeds
Cichorium intybus
- Hardy Annual
Forms an attractive rosette of green leaves and a small heart if grown to maturity, but Chicory Cicoria Grumolo Verde is often sown as a 'cut and come again' salad leaf.
Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. For more details about edible flowers click here.
- Sowing Months:
- May, June, July, August
- Position:
- sun or semi shade
The seeds of this variety are sown quite thickly from May to August to produce a cut and come again salad until late October. Can also be sown thickly under glass all year round for 'salad leaves'.
After frosts cut down foliage, leave until March when new growth will appear and form rosettes of exceptional flavour. As these will often be the first fresh chicory to be harvested in early spring they are much appreciated. By cutting with a small piece of root, the flavour will be enhanced. Can also be cut later when small heads have formed.
