About this item
- Heritage Italian Variety: A traditional late-season chicory from Lusia, Italy, producing beautifully compact heads with creamy green leaves naturally mottled with red speckles. A gourmet favourite prized for its crunch, flavour, and stunning appearance.
- Crisp, Flavourful & Versatile: Forms tight, medium-sized heads with firm, crunchy texture and mild, slightly bitter undertones. Perfect for winter salads, grilling, sautéing, risotto, pasta dishes, and adding colour to autumn/winter plates.
- Excellent Cold Resistance: This hardy tardiva variety thrives in cooler conditions, developing its best flavour and colour as temperatures drop. Ideal for UK gardens looking to extend their harvest into late winter. SEEDS: 5g Approx.
- Easy to Grow: Sow chicory seeds outdoors from June to September, covering lightly at 1 cm depth. Transplant between August and October, spacing 15 cm apart. Grow in fertile, well-drained soil with steady moisture. As temperatures cool, the heads tighten and develop their characteristic red speckling. Harvest from October to February.
- Seed Quality: Produced by a historic Italian seed house with over 240 years of excellence. Seeds are packed in protective, recyclable packets to preserve freshness and germination quality – bringing authentic Italian growing to your garden.

I wrote to Bigamart's customer support and they accompanied the process of reshipping the item until it finally arrived. I felt a genuine effort to solve the problem till it was finally solved.

The package was here in Australia from England in a few days — so quick! Something was missing and they refunded it straight away. Pretty happy with these guys.
