White Chicory Milan Seeds - Leben

Grow authentic Milan white chicory – the semi-late variety that rewards you with blonde-green leaves and voluminous, sturdy heads, fulfilling your passion for gardening.

This chicory thrives in mild climates and handles cold well, though strong frosts and freeze-thaw cycles challenge it. Choose sunny or partially shaded locations and prepare a nutrient-rich, well-draining soil with neutral pH. A thriving garden starts with the right foundation.

Sow from May to August directly into the ground: place seeds 1 cm deep, spacing them 40 cm apart between rows and 25 cm within rows. Keep soil moist until germination, then water regularly without waterlogging. Fertilize at sowing and one or two times yearly with organic vegetable-specific fertilizer. For mindful gardening, always rely on natural treatments against insects.

Your harvest arrives between September and December: mature leaves, full heads, substantial weight. The tangible reward of growing food with your own hands.
