Chicory Radicchio wanted please

[caseylee]

I have been trying to buy these seeds everywhere, but no luck.  A gentleman on a4a sent me some plain chicory which is lovely,  but I was wondering if anyone had this variety that they wish to swap for something else if possible please.
Thank you
Linda

Any particular variety within that heading Linda... I have Raddichio and could spare you some seeds if you PM me..
:)

the only way I can describe it is that it looks like a red cabbage but isn't one if that makes sense.  I have tons of raddichio its just that one I am battling with.  Thank you for the offer

That makes perfect sense to me... but there are several "red" chichories some ball, some pointed... some good for forcing... the list is almost endless..

Seeds of Italy have several pages of Chicory/Radicchio on their website. I'd avoid the Mixture they have - I grew it last year, and they were all different shapes and sizes and colours, mostly absolutely huge, I didn't know what to do with them. But there was one plant that was sensational - enormous solid white ball, crisp as anything and lasted for ages. We had it in January. Closest looking to it was Cicoria Bianca Di Bergamo Sel. Franchi so i've ordered some. Bella, Bella!

I have radicchio " Versuvio" if that is any good to you.

Moles seeds do Indigo and Pallo Rossa

[Suzanne]

The red one is Pallo Rossa which comes in normal sized packets, and the purple one Indigo which only comes as a minimum quantity of 500 seeds so is expensive

[caseylee]

that is the one I am after thanks for that

[Suzanne]

Seeds of Italy do Palla Rossa for £1.99 a packet and they are very generous in seed quantities. Unfortunately I don't like radicchio or chicory, or come to that endive so none in my hamper to send you. other members may have a few though.

Thank you everyone for your help, I managed to get two packets of them yesterday at Dobbies, my tortoise's will be so excited lol
