Chicory – Radicchio Castelfranco (SM4.18) (Organic)
£2.50
Stunning extra early radicchio best suited for raw salads. Castelfranco radicchio varieties are considered the queen of salad leaves. Their exquisite beauty will add something very special to your salad bowl, and their flavour is much sweeter than other radicchio types.
The plants begin with broad open green leaves, developing a central head as they mature. The inner leaves take on a pale yellow colour with beautiful burgundy speckles.
Sometimes know as “Tulip of Winter” as the heads are opened up to display their full glory in the produce markets of Italy.
(Approximate seed count – 100)

* * * * * *
We call the second half of summer the “Second Spring” as there is so much that can be sown which will provide you with tasty home-grown veg over the winter months.
It’s really satisfying harvesting stuff over the winter and winter crops are really fun and easy to grow. Spending time in your garden during all the different seasons is a wonderful way to connect to the cyclical aspects of nature.
Inside the Second Spring seed collection you’ll find ten of our favourite varieties for sowing later in the year. Each year we mix it up a bit as well as keeping some of the classics which you just can’t do without. It also comes with a handy full colour info-sheet about the varieties.
Our most exciting addition this year is a new strain of Pak Choi called Baby Choi and our Vital Seeds star leaf Beni Houshi Mizuna
