| Summary: | This document introduces radicchio, a red, broadleaf, heading form of chicory recently introduced to the U.S. as a gourmet salad vegetable. It describes its appearance, compares it to similar varieties like 'Radichetta,' and outlines cultivation practices. Two varieties, 'Giulo' and 'Augusto,' are recommended for different planting seasons, with mixed success in Florida trials. Challenges include bolting, tip-burn, and inconsistent head formation. Original publication date May 1994.
