Heirloom Organic Early Treviso Radicchio Seeds (10)
Italian heirloom ready for salads, and braising. You may know this heirloom radicchio's sister, 'Early Treviso': both are beloved varieties in Italy. In summer, the long, upright 10–14" heads begin green; once cooler weather comes around, the leaves transition to sensuous deep-red with white midribs and veins.
Open Pollinated. 85 days. Heirloom.
Easy to grow, upright, compact weather resistant.
Sow in July for winter crop.
First leaves are mottled green, followed by lovely crimson-white heads.
I like planting these in a container and then adding pink tulips.
Planting Directions: Plant in early spring and again in early July for a fall harvest. Soil temperature should be 55-75˚ for best germination with seed planted 1/4” deep. Thin plants when they are 1” high to 8” apart. Protect from hot weather by using shade cloth. Greens harvested in colder weather tend to be sweeter.
