  • Species and varieties: Cichorium endivia, commonly known as endive, is a leafy vegetable belonging to the Asteraceae family. There are two main varieties: curly endive (Cichorium endivia var. crispum) and escarole (Cichorium endivia var. latifolia). Curly endive has narrow, curly leaves, while escarole has broader, flatter leaves.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Endive seeds can be found in both hybrid and heirloom varieties. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, while hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits such as disease resistance and uniformity.
  • Pruning and training: Endive does not require extensive pruning or training. However, regular harvesting of outer leaves can encourage new growth and prevent the plant from bolting (going to seed).
  • Fertilization needs: Endive benefits from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting and again mid-season. A fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (e.g., 10-10-10) is recommended. Organic matter such as compost can also be added to improve soil fertility.
  • Hardiness zones: Endive is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 4-9. It can tolerate light frosts but is best grown in cooler weather.
  • Climate requirements: Endive thrives in cool weather and is best grown in spring or fall. It prefers temperatures between 60-70°F (15-21°C). In warmer climates, it can be grown as a winter crop. Endive requires full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5.
