It came from a mixed pack I bought from Seeds of Italy. It's called "Misticanza di Quattro Staggioni".

Don't get me started on seed count and weight...there's a blog for you then!! <br /><br />I have not eaten much chicory, but it was part of a winter greens packet I sowed and I think, last time I looked, the four I transplanted are still doing fine in the raised bed and you know we have had temps to 24 below. Unknown variety of course, unless I can find the old seed packet.Gardeningbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709940044197929905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-72009752944230205172013-02-11T17:02:34.999+00:002013-02-11T17:02:34.999+00:00It certainly brightens up a salad.
