Radicchio seeds

Radicchio Rossa di Treviso Precoce  (Cichorium intybus) : Delicate, red-headed, tasty.

Radicchio is an Italian salad specialty that belongs to the chicory family. It contains appetizing bitter substances. The firm, red heads with white leaf ribs are very attractive.

The cultivation takes place via direct sowing from May to July in good garden soil. A pre-culture in the cold frame or greenhouse can be done in small pots. Planting takes place from mid-May to late July. Radicchio has only a medium nutritional requirement. Continuous water supply is necessary. The typical color increases on cool nights.
