Radicchio ‘Palla Rossa’

Radicchio – 20x Seeds
(Cichorium intybus)

Radicchio is a cool-season leafy vegetable known for its striking deep red to burgundy leaves with crisp white veins. Beloved for its bold colour, bitter-sweet flavour, and versatility in both raw and cooked dishes, radicchio is a staple in Italian cuisine and gourmet salads.

Plants form tight, compact heads similar to a small cabbage, typically reaching 20–25 cm across. It grows best in full sun to part shade with fertile, well-drained soil and benefits from consistent moisture. Radicchio thrives in cooler weather, developing its best colour and flavour as the temperatures drop in autumn.

Delicious grilled, roasted, or shredded fresh into salads—this eye-catching vegetable is as ornamental as it is edible.
