Endive Seeds - Red Treviso

Deep red Italian heirloom with crisp ribs and refined bitterness

Description

Red Treviso Endive produces tall, elegant heads with deep burgundy leaves and crisp white ribs, offering both striking color and refined bitterness. This Italian variety develops a firm, upright structure that holds well in the garden and performs reliably in cool weather.

Its flavor is bold and pleasantly sharp, making it ideal for salads, grilling, roasting, or adding contrast to mixed greens. The leaves maintain their texture under heat, while their bitterness mellows when cooked, giving the variety exceptional versatility in the kitchen.

Red Treviso thrives in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and benefits from cooler conditions as it matures. With proper spacing and steady care, it yields uniform, vibrant heads that bring both beauty and culinary depth to the garden.
