Description: Scarborough Seeds SEEDS GUARANTEED TO GROW *ALL SEEDS ARE FRESH EACH SEASON AND MAINTAINED IN COLD STORAGE TO INSURE FRESHNESS TO YOU* The most important question to ask when buying seed is: Are the seeds good, will they grow? Nothing is worse than putting in all the work to plant a garden and nothing comes up. All Scarborough Seeds are germination tested and are fresh every season. In addition, they are maintained throughout the season in cold storage, which slows the aging process and assures they will still be fresh when you receive them. They are guaranteed to grow, and we provide planting instructions on every package to help you achieve success with your project. SCARBOROUGH SEEDS RADICCHIO PALLA ROSA 500 SEEDS LATIN NAME: Cichorium intybus LIFE CYCLE: Annual HYBRID STATUS: Open pollinated DAYS TO MATURITY: 64 days. Non-GMO Radicchio Seeds. An early heading selection of this increasingly popular vegetable. Firm red heads with attractive white veins. Can also be sown and left un-thinned for 'salad leaves' adding zest and a hint of bitterness to the mixed salad. Radicchio is hardy and can be planted as early as the soil can be worked. It is a cool weather crop and grows best at temperatures of 60-65°F. Radicchio seed can enter thermal dormancy when exposed to high temperatures above 77°F. Optimum germination results at soil temperatures of 60-68°F. Transplanting: Sow in flats, 4 seeds/in., or in 3/4" plug trays, barely covering seeds with fine vermiculite, 3-4 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Shade the flats on sunny, warm days if necessary, to keep the soil surface cool, below 75°F, until germination. If sowing into flats, transplant 1-2" apart into flats, pots, or cell-type containers about 2 weeks later. Harden seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 2-3 days before planting outdoors. Properly hardened transplants can survive temperatures as low as 20°F. Transplant 8" apart in rows 18" apart. Transplant shallowly so that the base of the plant will be slightly above the soil to discourage bottom rot. Direct seeding: The highest germination percentage will occur around 75°F. Sow seeds 1" apart, rows 12-18" apart. Cover seed lightly, about 1/8", and firm soil gently. Thin to 8" apart. Dry soil must be watered to ensure coolness and moisture, and for uniform germination.
