Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A chicory relative, this tight headed radicchio sports beautiful red leaves with white veins that are attractive in salads and provide a tangy taste without bitterness. Also great steamed with other greens, in stir fries and shredded with slaw! This one has been almost perennial for us providing many months of leaves on non bolting plants. 85 days 3” pot
