Frizzy Panaclieri has rose tinted mid-ribs, lovely in salads and it can be cooked! It is mainly for Summer and Autumn use and can be sown from March onwards, this this self blanching cultivar can be harvested into early winter with protection from an August/September sowing. All this makes Panaclieri very versatile.
This variety is part of our naturally nurtured range, the seed comes from an organic source
SOW: best sown from March onwards for summer and autumn use. Protect sowings made in August/September for use from early winter. Sow all year round for cut and come again use. Germination can be erratic in hot weather.
GROW: space single plants 20-35cm apart. Cut heads and leave to resprout (less likely to do this if blanched). Keep watered. Self-blanching varieties naturally produce a creamy centre to the plant without needing to be covered.
ENJOY: most often used raw in salads but endive can also be cooked – try braising it.
