Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special seed preparation is required for Rossa di Verona Radicchio Seeds.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost or sow directly into well-prepared garden soil after the danger of frost has passed.

Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which typically takes 7-10 days.

Maintain a soil temperature of 65-75°F for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart when they have 2-3 true leaves.

Transplant seedlings into their permanent location with full sun to partial shade.

Care and Maintenance:

Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, providing approximately 1 inch of water per week.

Mulch around plants to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the shallow root system.

Blanching can be done by tying the outer leaves together about 2 weeks before harvest to promote tenderness and reduce bitterness.

Harvest heads when they reach full size, typically around 60-70 days after planting.

Happy Gardening!
