Available from Merrifield Gardens, which offer this description; " This salad green, also known as escarole, produces large, broad leaves on plants up to 15" across. The leaves are slightly twisted and have a sharper flavor and more substance than lettuce. Use mixed with other greens in salads, as cooked greens, and as a garnish. Tastiest crops are timed for harvest during the cool weather of autumn. 80-90 days to maturity. "
