The Radicchio Milan, 'Cichorium intybus', is a self-heading type that is easy to grow. The Milan Radicchio adds a unique flavor to salads. Milan is strikingly beautiful with its deep red and very white veins. It adds a distinctive, desirable, slightly bitter flavor to salads, is delicious sauteed with butter and garlic, or eaten with slices of fresh tomatoes. Milan has 9 to 12 ounce round deep red heads with very white veins.
Plant the Milan Radicchio in mid-spring to early summer. In warm climates Milan can be planted in the fall for winter harvest. They prefer well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Harvest when heads begin to become firm. Cut head above the crown and it may re-sprout producing another head in the fall. Remove the outer leaves until you reach the inner heart where the veins are white.
