Growing Advice for Red Veronese Radicchio

Sow from May to August, directly in the open ground, keeping 30 cm between rows. Thin seedlings one month after emergence to 15 cm spacing.

This radicchio thrives in well-drained, humus-rich soil and a sunny location.

Care & Resistance

• Slug-sensitive: Protect young plants with ecological slug control.

Harvesting
