We do not sell Live plants We only sell freshly harvested seeds from small time growers, hobbyists and collectors.
Listing is for 20 Seeds. La Rosa Radicchio is a chicory-type leafy plant grown for its distinctive head shape and vivid coloration that ranges through bright pink tones with pale veining. It typically forms a looser head than many traditional radicchio types, with leaves that look delicate but hold up well in the garden when conditions are steady.
This variety shines when it matures in cool weather, which helps the head tighten and intensifies the leaf color. Sow or transplant so the main growth period avoids peak heat, and keep moisture consistent to prevent checkered growth and tough outer leaves. Give plants enough space for air circulation and full head development, and harvest by cutting at the base once the head feels well formed.
In the garden, La Rosa Radicchio does double duty: it�s a productive cool-season crop and a visual standout in beds and containers. It pairs beautifully with other late-season greens for mixed plantings where texture and color matter as much as yield. Success is mostly about timing�hit the cool window, keep water even, and let the head finish slowly for the best structure and color.
