Long pointed green foliage that turns red as the weather gets colder. Adds colour, texture and unique flavour. Outstanding weather resistance - ideal for autumn/early winter use. Roots can be forced to produce paler, tender shoots.

Growing Information

Sow June-July under glass in a propagator. Plant out 15cm (6") apart in a sunny spot. Harvest October-December (14 weeks maturity)/April-May (year 2).

Sowing Information

Sow seeds thinly in a propagator and cover with 3mm (1?4") compost and place in a shaded area. Germination 8-24 days. Plant out in a sunny spot 15cm (6") apart in well-drained soil. Roots can be forced like Witloof to produce paler, tender shoots.
Chicory can be eaten raw or cooked and is a delicious alternative to add to roasts, stir-fries or as a vegetable side dish. Eat soon after picking for best flavour.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.
