RADICCHIO ‘Bel Fiore’
Botanical Name
Cichorium intybus
Our favourite radicchio due to its ability to grow happily all year and being a more mild in flavour than the traditional varieties. The speckled, wavey leaves look great and have a mildly bitter flavour that makes them a great addition to salads, or use in the traditional way. Pick the young leaves when required or let it mature to a loose head for a single cut. These hardy, deep-rooting plants need an open position, but are not about soil.
