85 days. Cichorium endivia. Open Pollinated. Red Treviso Chicory. The plant produces good yields of beautiful red chicory with white veins. The leaves are tender yet crisp. Adds zest and color to a unique mixed salad. Used in salads or cooked as a vegetable. Try Treviso grilled on the barbecue and drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It produces elongated, romaine-like heads with crisp white ribs and leaves that start green in warmer weather and develop a striking deep burgundy-red color with cool autumn temperatures. Colder weather will produce the best color. Ideal for autumn and early winter use. Cold Tolerant. Also known as Rossa di Treviso Radicchio. Excellent choice for home gardens. United States Department of Agriculture, PI 652037. An heirloom variety from Treviso, Italy.

Radicchio Planting Information:

Radicchio can be harvested between December and April in the south. It requires a long, cool growing season. You can have successive plantings throughout the year. Plant in August for fall and winter harvest. In the South, you can plant as late as October for winter harvest. To ensure a crop, cut the plant to the ground in early fall so that the dark red heads can form. For spring planting, plant seeds 30 days before the last frost, and 70 days before the first autumn frost for a fall crop. Plants can grow 12 - 18" tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer periodically.

Harvest Tips:

You can cut leaves as you need them if you want the plant to produce more leaves, or you can cut the entire plant at ground level.
