Cichorium endivia includes curly endive and broad-leaved escarole. Both form leafy rosettes, but the divided, curled leaves of frisée differ from the broader, smoother leaves of escarole.

Botanical characteristics

These are forms of the same species. Belgian endive and radicchio belong instead to Cichorium intybus, despite overlapping common names.

Curled and broad-leaved salad forms

De Louviers, De Meaux and Batavian Broad Leaved are separate seed references for resellers. Leaf type is a more useful first comparison than treating all entries as a single endive mixture in a wholesale assortment.
