Radicchio.

'Chioggia Red'. 60 days. Chioggia Red has a round head tightly packed with colorful red and white leaves. Early spring through summer crop. An Italian vegetable of large gastronomic wealth that is gaining popularity in the U.S. This colorful chicory is eaten raw in salads and is sometimes cooked with olive oil and raisins, a method that sweetens its bitter taste. I cut this colorful plant often and don't let it form a head. Radicchio will regrow until summer's heat becomes too much for plants to tolerate. Space plants 6 to 8 inches apart.

About Our Veggies
- About Our Veggies
  The strength of the vegetable garden is its ability to yield the freshest produce from superior varieties that are unobtainable in the supermarket. That philosophy carries over into what I select to offer you. The way my plants are grown also offers you benefits. All vegetable plants are sold in individual pots to permit you to select just the number you need when you need them. Plants in individual pots tend to be more vigorous, grow faster, and produce a larger harvest. For you this means better vegetables sooner. Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplants, and most other vegetable plants are $2.49 each. Lettuce, Italian and Asian greens are $1.49 unless otherwise specified.

We are no longer growing any plants. Listings are for information only. Last seed source listed after some of the plants is the company from which I last purchased the seeds. I make no guarantee that a variety is still available from that company or that there aren't other sources. Plants with no source either were not grown from seed (most likely) or the seed is not commercially available.
