Description
'Palla Rossa 3' is an improved selection of the popular, reliable Italian Radicchio. This early Chioggia type chicory is grown for its generous heads of very crisp, round, contrasting red and white leaves. Tasty eaten raw in salads or cooked like spinach. Sow this RHS Award of Garden Merit winner from June to August for harvests starting in September.
Common chicory is a herbaceous plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It bears the Latin name Cichorium intybus and is also known as wild endive or succory. It grows naturally on roadsides and in meadows and has pretty, daisy-like blue flowers in summer. The shape and flavour of its leaves is similar to those of the Dandelion plant. There are many cultivated varieties that vary considerably in shape, colour and flavour. Leaf chicory varieties include radicchio (or red chicory), Catalogna chicory (also known as Italian dandelion, puntarelle or asparagus chicory), Belgian endive (or Witloof) and sugarloaf. Root chicory (Cichorium intybus sativum) is grown mainly as a coffee substitute, with the advantage of being naturally caffeine-free! Common chicory is often wrongly named “endive”. True endives belong to a closely related species, Cichorium endivia. The most common cultivated forms are escarole and “frisée” (curly) endive.
Common chicory is more cold-hardy than endive. It prefers moderately rich, cool, well-drained soil. In colder regions, provide winter crop covers such as fleece or polythene sheeting. Some varieties require forcing, which can be done in a cellar.
Chicory greens bring a lovely, bitter edge to mixed salads; they are delicious sautéed, braised or cooked in bechamel sauce. They boast numerous health benefits, including boosting the immune system, easing digestion and reducing inflammation.
Harvesting: pick the outer leaves as and when required
Storage: chicory greens will keep for a few days in the refrigerator
Good to know: hoeing and weeding around your plants regularly will help keep the weeds in check. Mulching is a great way to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells.
NB. Organic seeds (in French "AB" for "Agriculture Biologique") are produced from plants that aren't treated with phytosanitary products (insecticides, weed killers). The seeds do not undergo post-harvest treatment. They carry the AB label and are approved by Ecocert, an independent structure.

Planting and care
Sowing:
Sow lightly in shallow flat-bottomed drills, about 5 cm wide and 2 cm deep. Leave 30 cm between each row. Cover the seeds lightly and water. Thin out the seedlings, keeping one every 30 cm. If necessary, they can be transplanted when the seedlings reach the 7-8 leaf stage.
Care:
To avoid diseases such as downy mildew or leaf spot, weed and hoe around your plants regularly and make sure to rotate your crops every 3 to 4 years. Although common chicory is more frost-resistant than curly endive or escarole, its best to protect your plants with crop covers during the colder winter months.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
