Growing tips

At the end of October, cut back the green foliage to approx. 3 cm so that the red heads can form the following spring. Cover the plants with brushwood to speed up the process. Sow shallowly in rows 25 - 30 cm apart from July - August. Sow immediately at 15 cm final spacing, as radicchio is difficult to transplant. The soil should be slightly sandy.
