Palla Rossa Chicory Seeds (Cichorium intybus) produce compact, beautifully colored radicchio heads that brighten any cool-season garden. Known for their deep burgundy leaves and crisp texture, these plants thrive in full sun and adapt well to a variety of climates. Palla Rossa can be grown as an annual for fresh radicchio or allowed to overwinter and flower in its second year for seed production. With natural drought tolerance, dependable yields, and suitability for container growing, this Italian chicory supports both sustainable gardening and flavorful home cooking.

Colorful, Hardy, and Ideal for Cool-Season Gardens:

• Produces tight, richly colored burgundy heads
• Thrives in full sun with cool temperatures and moderate water
• Compact growth habit suited for containers and small spaces
• Drought-tolerant once established, supporting low-input gardening

Why Customers Love Palla Rossa Chicory:

• Classic Italian radicchio flavor with a pleasant, balanced bitterness
• Excellent for salads, grilled dishes, sautés, and mixed greens
• Outer leaves can be harvested young while inner heads continue to develop
• Reliable harvests and strong performance across diverse climates

How to Grow:
Sow seeds outdoors in early spring or late summer for cool-weather growth. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil to help heads form tightly. Space plants to allow for airflow and proper head development. For baby greens, harvest outer leaves early; for full heads, allow plants to mature fully. In suitable climates, Palla Rossa can overwinter and produce flowers and seeds in its second year.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest outer leaves when tender for mild bitterness and crisp texture. Mature heads offer a stronger, more traditional radicchio flavor suitable for roasting, grilling, or slicing into salads. Rinse leaves thoroughly and store heads in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
