From Territorial Seed: “85 days. Gorgeous dark red leaves and uniform 5-7 inch heads make Palla Rossa Special<\/em> the best medium-early radicchio we’ve evaluated. It has that distinctive tangy taste without getting bitter or bolting. Unique, as it can be planted for both summer and fall harvest. A marvelous salad companion, it is an excellent complement in mixed steamed greens, stir-fries, and savory pastries.” Photo also courtesy of Territorial Seed.<\/p>\n

Care: Plant 10-12″ apart in rows 12-18″ apart in full sun.

\nRed or green or in between, Italian chicories (aka endive, frisee, and radicchio) are heritage greens that combine a sweet, flowery fragrance with an intriguingly peppery bite. Gorgeous in the garden and stunning on the plate, this bevy of Italian beauties offer myriad variations to enjoy. With scoop-shaped leaves that are perfect for dipping, these flavorful greens partner deliciously with distinctive cheeses and creamy dressings. Their spunky bite is mellowed by slow cooking; try braising in butter or splitting whole heads lengthwise and grilling until lightly caramelized.
