Endive 'Red Treviso'
Brighten your garden and your plate with the striking Red Treviso endive. This Italian heirloom boasts deep burgundy leaves with crisp, slightly bitter tips that add vibrant colour and texture to salads, slaws, and gourmet dishes. Slow to bolt and hardy in cooler seasons, it rewards gardeners with a steady supply of tender, flavorful heads. Perfect for cutting and using fresh or lightly sautéed, Red Treviso brings elegance and bold taste from garden to table.
Ensure the soil is well-drained, rich in organic matter, and has a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Sow seeds directly into the soil, following the spacing recommendations on the seed packet. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Endive plants are best grown in full sun. Choose a location that will receive at least 6 hours of full sun each day.
