Radicchio 'Rosa di Treviso' Live Plant – Italian Heirloom

A Winter Salad Star with Stunning Color

Rosa di Treviso is a classic Italian Treviso-type radicchio prized for its elongated, deep burgundy-red leaves and pleasantly bitter flavor. Plants start out green — don’t be alarmed, we really are sending the right plants! As cool fall temperatures set in, the leaves transform into their signature rich red color, making this one of the most beautiful and productive cool-season greens you can grow.
