I grew Bianca di Milano, once.
Once was enough, pale inner leaves, if it did heart they often rotted around the edge.
Seeds of Italy’s range of chicories is interesting but variable – currently I have problems with Lusia not standing as hearts, whereas Marzatica does stand but some plants make no heart.
I would try Bingenheim’s chicory next year.
