Notes
'Eros' escarole (Cichorium endivia 'Eros') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Eros is the earliest escarole, and it grows at a rapid rate. The plant has an erect habit, so rows stay tidy.
Pairs well with Broccoli, Bull's Blood beet, and Dill.
