From Treviso Italy and part of the chicory family, Rossa Di Treviso Radicchio is a nice addition to any salad in adding some different taste and texture. Radicchio is also great on the barbeque drizzled with Balsamic dressing!
Planting Guide: A little more cold hardy, this radicchio can be planted 2-3 weeks before the final seasonal frost and again in late summer for a fall harvest. Fall is actually when it grows best. Sow 1/4" deep, 10" -12" apart, in rows about 18" apart in well-drained soil. Full sun.
Harvest: 80 - 90 days - the lettuce will grow similar to a romaine lettuce or endive - tall & upright. Use within a week of harvest for best results.
Tip: Watch the fertilizer - too much nitrogen will cause bolting.
