MS493A - Perseo

Regular price $5.99 $0.00

Very early Chioggia type with round, dark red heads and thick white ribs and veins. Perseo can be grown in the early spring and again in the fall. Compact 7.5-10cm (3-4”) heads allow for close spacing of plants. Chop the tightly packed heads into salads for a pop of dramatic coloru and flavour complexity with its mild bitterness. When grown for fall harvest, plant the 3rd week of June, near the summer solstice. Heads are fully mature when they are well-filled, though they can be harvest and eaten at any time prior as well.

  • Round, Chioggia type.
  • Grow early spring and fall.
  • Very early maturity.
  • Dark red with white ribs and veins.

How To Grow

The chicory family includes the food plants endive and radicchio, which range in flavour from bitter to sweet. All varieties become sweeter, and lose much of their bitterness, when cooked. Try a hot oil salad dressing over endive, or a barbecued head of radicchio!  Follow along with this handy How to Grow Endive and Radicchio Guide and grow food.
