Seed Savers Radicchio Palla Rossa Chichory

$4.25

Distinctively spicy and tangy, ‘Palla Rossa’ radicchio makes a delicious addition to any mixed-greens salad. It loses bitterness (and actually becomes sweeter) when cooked; Italians typically grill it with a bit of olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper. Biennial plants develop striking red heads that reach up to 4" in diameter, and green outer leaves are the most typically eaten when young as baby greens.

Growing Instructions: Sow seeds indoors 1/8" deep in warm, moist soil, 5-6 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors, spacing 8-12" apart. 

  • Start Indoors: 5-6 weeks before the last frost
  • Germination: 10-20 days
  • Plant Outdoors: 8-12" apart
  • Light: Full Sun
  • Chicory thrives in outdoor temperatures between 45°-75° F

Can be direct seeded 2-3 weeks before the last frost date, or once the soil can be worked. Plant every 2" and thin to 8-12" per plant once true leaves are developed.
