Mid-late. A lovely heirloom radicchio, Rossa di Verona has deep red, heart shaped leaves wrapped tightly around one another to form a solid, round head. This variety offers beautiful salads with red leaves. Cut off all the leaves above the crown in early autumn. It's the resulting new growth in cold weather that produces the characteristic small, compact, cabbage-like head. They can even be overwintered for spring harvest. It is harvested as a salad to be cut in autumn or spring when it takes the shape of a sphere. Resistant to low temperatures.
