Description
This gourmet Italian red chicory has a distinct bitter-sweet flavor. The compact heads are deep red with white veins. Giulio is the first radicchio developed for slow-bolting spring production.
Sow in moist, fertile soil in a location with full sun to part shade in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Sow in fall, or winter in mild climates. Keep young plants well watered. Harvest entire plant when heads have firmed and turn deep red. Discard outer leaves.
