Cicoria grumolo rossa
I was not able to find the exact one I purchased from you in this list, but it is close! This is the first time I have planted radicchio, however I have been a vegetable gardener for a long, long time. I planted it early last summer. It was slow to mature. Due to our hot summers it didn't really take off until the fall. One thing I was concerned about was the fact that it was bright green, and not the beautiful red color on the seed package. I harvested some in late fall and added it to our salads, and we enjoyed its flavor. It survived all winter long, and we experienced some 20° nights several times. It looks great, has some red blotches on its leaves now, and is about six inches tall.

Rossa Verona Grumolos was the first type of radicchio I ever grew. I was enthralled by how they lit up the salad and the palate. Grow 'em alone or mix 'em in with lettuce seed, they transform salads into a bouquet. These also make a gorgeous ornamental good for containers or growing around the feet of taller plants. These grow well both as a spring or fall/winter crop here in Central Virginia zone 7. I've sent special friends shipments of these for Thanksgiving, and the grumbles regrow in time for a gorgeous Valentines day display and late winter salads. I like Franchi Seeds for the GENEROUS seed quantities, the excellent germination, and long storage viability which is better than what I've found in radicchio seeds from many U.S. seed suppliers.
