Other: The Garnet Stem Catalogna Endive has a distinctive look with green leaves and red stems, similar to its relative, the Emerald Catalogna. It features dandelion-shaped leaves that are tender and mild with a slight bitterness and an asparagus-like flavor. The baby leaves are excellent in salads or cooked dishes. These plants are fast-growing and thrive in cool weather. They can be planted in spring or fall and are capable of overwintering in warmer climates.
