Radicchio 'Rosa di Veneto' Live Plant

The Radicchio That’s Actually Pink

Rosa di Veneto is one of the most visually striking radicchios you can grow — and yes, it really is pink. The rosy color develops in the center of the plant as cool fall temperatures arrive, creating a gorgeous contrast of green outer leaves and blush-pink hearts. Plants start out entirely green, so don’t worry — we really are sending the right plants!
