The Myrna chicory variety is a mid-season leafy type Frise, characterized by beautiful large rosettes with dark green, wavy-edged leaves and a yellow-green center. The vegetation period of this variety is 60-65 days, allowing it to be grown during summer and autumn. Myrna is suitable for direct sowing in open ground or through seedlings, showing equally high yields under various growing conditions.

Due to these qualities, Myrna tolerates hot weather well and is suitable for organic farming. The plant's rosettes are raised, facilitating harvest and making the variety high-yielding.
