Radicchio Seeds, Rossa Di Verona Sel. Bavicchi

This is the professionally selected for uniformity version of Rossa Di Verona from Bavicchi. Variety of radicchio/chicory with a head formed with broad green leaves, which become wine red in autumn-winter, so consider planting in mid-summer to time the harvest after cool weather sets in. Some grow this for the wonderfully colored outer leaves, others will trim down to the 'Palla Rossa' head. Why not use it both ways? From the beautiful Verona area of Northern Italy. Untreated seed.
