Chicory – Radicchio – Perseo

Very early Chioggia type with round, dark red heads and thick white ribs and veins. Perseo can be grown in the early spring and again in the fall. Compact 7.5-10cm (3-4) heads allow for close spacing of plants. Chop the tightly packed heads into salads for a pop of dramatic coloru and flavour complexity with its mild bitterness. When grown for fall harvest, plant the 3rd week of June, near the summer solstice. Heads are fully mature when they are well-filled, though they can be harvest and eaten at any time prior as well.
