Rossa de Verona - Radicchio

Plant seeds directly in the garden in the spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 45-70°F. For transplants, start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. A few weeks before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Transplant to the garden up to 4 week before your average last frost date and up to 1 week after. Time transplants to mature in cool weather for best result.
