Endive Planting Information:

Endive is a curly leaf plant and is very easy to grow. It is very hardy and is frost-resistant. It does well even in rainy regions. Endive doesn't do well in very hot weather. You can have successive plantings throughout the year. In the spring, plant seeds 4 weeks before the last frost date. Plant in August for a fall harvest. Endive seeds are usually planted directly in the garden. Plant your seeds as soon as the soil can be worked. Plants grow 3 - 9" tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep soil consistently moist. Water well during dry and hot spells. Water on the side of the plants and not directly on the leaves.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks. Side dress plants with compost and manure.

Harvest Tips:

You can cut outer leaves as you need them if you want the plant to produce more leaves, or you can cut the entire plant at ground level.
