Product Description
“Variegated radicchio from Castelfranco”, north of Treviso is a beautiful, variegated, red and pale green, lettuce-like vegetable, with a mild flavour and crisp texture. It is ideally suited to use in salads. See Antonio Carluccio's book "Vegetables", page 256 for a recipe.
Sow in a seed box and plant out or direct sow in autumn for full size plants, but can be planted anytime for picking young. Thin to 10cm. This is easy to grow and very consistent in producing a nice head

Like a rose
Posted by Lucy Turner on 1st Sep 2011
We're in Berrima, Southern Highlands, NSW. We grow this variety in our flourishing school garden at Berrima Public School. Not particularly poular with children, owing to bitter flavour, as with all radicchio. But for the mature pallet, a real pleasure. Can't believe how beautiful it looks fully grown either - truly like a flower. Easy to grow.

Slow-growing beauty
Posted by Sally Pope on 22nd Aug 2010
Took a while to grow to its full beauty - the colour only developed as it matured into a good head. Once grown, the taste was terrific; milder than some radicchios and excellent teamed with mizuna. Looks gorgeous in a salad bowl with a bit of olive oil and balsamic!
