Product Description:
Radicchio Rosso di Treviso is a type of chicory that is well-known for its vibrant red leaves and distinctive bitter flavor. The leaves are dark red with white veins, giving it a striking appearance. The leaves are typically arranged in a tight, upright head. Known for its bitter taste, which is often described as "amarognolo" in Italian. This bitterness can be balanced with cooking or pairing with other ingredients. There are two main types - Precoce (early) and Tardivo (late). The Tardivo variety is considered more prized due to its more complex production process. Grown primarily in the Veneto region of Italy, particularly around Treviso. The Tardivo variety undergoes a process called "imbianchimento" where the plants are tied and placed in water to develop their color and reduce bitterness.

Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰

 

Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants.

I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
