Dandelion, Italiko Rosso

50 days. Beautiful, bright red stems and deep green leaves make this variety a winner! Baby leaves add great tangy flavor to salads, or are good as a cooked green. We offer true Italian seeds for this delicious heirloom, which is not a true dandelion, but rather a member of the chicory family.
