Choose the Right Time

The ideal time to plant Chicory Rossa di Treviso will be based on your climate. Plant late spring in cooler climates and harvest in the fall. Plant late summer in warmer climates to miss the heat of the summer. It’s a cool season crop and will even deepen in color following a light frost.

Prepare the Soil

Chicory prefers well-draining rich neutral acidic soil. Break up the soil, then incorporate the organic matter such as compost or aged manure before planting. This promotes deep and healthy root development.

Plant the Seeds

Direct seed in the ground ¼ inch deep and 12 inches in center. Plant rows 18 inches in the center if planted in rows to provide for spreading. Water lightly after planting.

Chicory Rossa Di Treviso Regulate Soil Moisture

Chicory prefers to be kept moist but not soaked. Water frequently, particularly in hot, dry weather. Mulch cover retains soil moisture and prevents weeds.

Thin Seedlings

Thin seedlings to 2 inches tall so the plants will stand about 12 inches apart. This gives plants sufficient space to grow into gigantic, healthy heads.

Maintenance

Fertilizing: Encourage rapid growth through frequent applications of balanced organic fertilizer.
Weeding: Maintain soil as weed-free as possible in order to avoid competition for nutrients.
Protection: Mulch rows with row covers or with organic controls such as neem oil in the event of insect pest.

Harvesting

Pick Chicory Rossa di Treviso 80-100 days from planting. Pick following a light frost to allow color to be deeper and taste stronger. Harvest at the stem and take off some of the lower damaged leaves.

Bonus Tip: Forcing for Better Taste

To become less bitter to taste and sweeter, other growers trigger chicory. Pull down the plants and leave them somewhere cold and dark for several weeks. This will make the plant crunchier and less bitter.
