Endive Sugarloaf Seeds
Sugar Loaf Endive: This is a green cousin of the radicchio plant. It looks like romaine lettuce as it grows and produces nice, compact heads like romaine. But unlike romaine, it's very cold tolerant and a true chicory. The flavor is sweet and crunchy, and the blanched center makes it really pretty. It's a delicious, nutritious, and beautiful addition to any salad. It's also easy to grow and can be harvested in as little as 60 days. This makes it a great choice for gardeners of all experience levels.

How to Save Seeds
Keep other chicories separate from one another by at least 500 ft and keep separate from endive too. Saving sugarloaf endive seeds is a simple process that can be done in three easy steps. First, allow the endive plant to fully mature and form seed heads. Second, cut the seed heads off the plant and place them in a paper bag. Third, hang the bag in a cool, dry place for about a week to allow the seeds to dry completely. When the seeds are fully dried, you can remove them from the seed heads by hand or by gently crushing the heads. It is important to store the seeds in a cool, dry place to prevent them from becoming moldy or damaged. You can store them in an airtight container or an envelope, and make sure to label them with the date and variety of endive.
