RADICCHIO (Cicoria) rossa di Treviso

Product Description
"Red chicory from Treviso" is one of the most sought after of the radicchios and is an elegant plant with red leaves contrasting with wide white ribs. The leaves are delicious in salads, and the ribs are used as a base for risotto and soup. Small plants are often simply grilled or pan fried.
Best grown for late autumn/winter maturing which it achieves in about 90 days. Set out 5-6 week transplants in summer or direct seed and thin to 5cm. Plant any time for baby salad leaves. Please note that heading chicories and radicchios initially grow a mass of loose leaves, but be patient, they will head up.

Purchased this radicchio expecting the wonderful red close leaf vegetable as I have had in Italy but after growing - it grew very well infact - the result was I think a Chicoria Spadona or something close to it. It was excellent producer and fast grower but not what was supposed to be in the packet.
Note from The Italian Gardener:
Heading chicories and radicchios initially have a mass of loose green or reddish leaves that with time form a heart and with cold weather the radicchios turn red. Sow late summer to autumn and be patient!
