Compact, ruffled heads with an upright growth habit and excellent self-blanching at maturity.

Adaptable endive variety that has strong tip burn resistance and is slow to bolt in hot weather. Heads are beautiful with an upright growth habit, reducing exposure to bottom rot and increasing the coverage of internal leaves, leading to dense, self-blanched hearts. Plants are compact, perfect for tight spacings. From our partners at Vitalis Seeds.
