Variegated Lusia type radicchio with round, loosely filled heads of pale green with pink speckles. Adige Medio can be grown in both spring and fall with the ability to hold in the field without bolting and good tolerance to first frost.
Pink colour is darker in the cool temperatures of all. Larger than Perseo with heads weighing about 350g (12-13oz). One of the mildest flavours of the radicchios, following Sugarloaf types.
50 Seeds
Sow after the last frost date and again in mid-summer to take advantage of the fall growing season. Optimal soil temperature: 10-22°C (50-72°F). Seeds sprout in 2-15 days, depending on conditions. In hot weather plants may go to seed quickly, so have new plantings ready to go.
Either direct seed or start indoors and transplant. Sow seeds 5mm (¼”) deep, and thin or transplant to allow 30-45cm (12-18″) between plants in rows 30-45cm (12-18″) apart.
Harvest: Use as a cut and come again crop or let the heads develop and cut at ground level. Many will grow back.
