Endive - Bionda a Cuore Pieno - Remarkably crisp leaves - Fresh Seeds

The Bionda a Cuore Pieno endive is a unique variety that will delight every lover of fresh, crunchy vegetables. Its spreading, impressive rosettes made of wavy leaves become a decoration for every garden and table. The leaves possess a pleasantly delicate, slightly bitter taste with a nutty note, making them perfect for enhancing the flavour of salads, sandwiches or warm dishes. Its ease of cultivation and resistance to cold make it an ideal plant for both beginners and experienced gardeners.

Sowing depth

Seeds of this variety should be sown at a depth of 2 to 3 cm. This depth guarantees optimal germination conditions and even, strong emergence. Remember to keep the soil light and moist, as this allows young seedlings to gain vigour quickly and begin dynamic growth.

Sowing time in the ground

Sowing into the ground is best carried out from May to August, choosing a sunny, well-ventilated position. Endive likes fertile, humus-rich and moderately moist soil. Such conditions allow the plants to develop full, firm rosettes with a beautiful, yellow-green shade, which will be ready for harvest after just a few weeks.

Sowing time under cover

Under covers, such as in a foil tunnel or greenhouse, seeds can be sown as early as March and April. This allows for an earlier harvest and lets you enjoy the taste of fresh endive before the garden turns fully green. Sowing in controlled conditions protects the plants from the cold and results in strong, well-developed seedlings ready for transplanting.

Spacing

Maintain a spacing of 30 x 30 cm between plants during planting. This ensures that each endive has enough space to form a full, compact rosette of leaves. Appropriate spacing also facilitates care and watering while limiting the risk of diseases, which translates into a healthy, abundant yield.

Harvest time

Bionda a Cuore Pieno endive can be harvested from May to June and from August right through to October. Its resistance to cold allows you to enjoy fresh leaves even in late autumn. Harvesting can be conducted successively by cutting off the outer leaves as needed, which allows the plant to continue growing and regenerating.

Cultivation

Endive has similar requirements to lettuce but offers a more intense flavour and greater decorative value. It grows best in fertile, permeable and slightly moist soil. Regular watering, especially during periods of drought, will allow the leaves to maintain their juiciness and crispness. This variety tolerates cooler nights and short-term frosts well, which extends its cultivation period. A little care is enough to gain healthy, beautiful plants that will enrich every home kitchen.
