Notes
'Fiero' radicchio (Cichorium intybus 'Fiero') is a vegetable for the food garden, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. The upright plants are drought tolerant, and bees and butterflies visit the white flowers.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, French Breakfast radish, and Lime basil.
