Notes
'Giorgione' radicchio (Cichorium intybus 'Giorgione') is a vegetable for food gardens, 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. It forms early, pear-shaped heads, and bees and butterflies visit its flowers.
Pairs well with Cilantro, Black Beauty Tomato tomato, and Lime basil.
