Sow directly in place, in rows 30 cm apart. Cover the seeds lightly and press down with the back of a rake. Thin to 30 cm in all directions. If sown too early, it will bolt quickly.
Chicory needs regular watering, which can be reduced by mulching. Bitter endive is more resistant to very low winter temperatures than escarole or curly endive. They can be left in the ground over winter in most regions.
