Noted to be the best performing Escarole! An early variety that makes heavy, dense, lettuce-like heads of mildly bitter, curly leaves suitable for salads, soups, and sauteing. To harvest, clip individual leaves or harvest the whole head by cutting just above the root attachment. A compact plant with paler leaves than Eliance. Similar to Natacha, but about a week earlier, more compact, and with darker green leaves. Enjoys full sun. Days to maturity: 45. (CICHORIUM endivia 'Eros')
