Radicchio Castelfranco (SM4.18)
Stunning extra early radicchio best suited for raw salads.
About this variety
Stunning extra early radicchio best suited for raw salads. Castelfranco radicchio varieties are considered the queen of salad leaves. Their exquisite beauty will add something very special to your salad bowl, and their flavour is much sweeter than other radicchio types. The plants begin with broad open green leaves, developing a central head as they mature. The inner leaves take on a pale yellow colour with beautiful burgundy speckles. Sometimes know as "Tulip of Winter" as the heads are opened up to display their full glory in the produce markets of Italy. (Approximate seed count - 100)
