Okay I am being picky here I want the tall red stuff not the short round stuff.

And I need like 100 or more seeds.

Like a fool I should have planted in the fall.

100 seeds no problem, but mine is the shorter round one.
I have a soft spot for short stuff.

Mine is the Early Treviso, red, slightly 'tall'. Seeds are very tiny so I'm sure there are at least 100.

I will give both of you guys PM's in a minute.
I hope it isn't too late.
To me a salad just isn't a salad without it and it is so darn expensive at the store.
Thanks.

I would like to thank both of you guys.
Before I have just bought the sets at the store and they were sky high compared to how much I eat this stuff.
I mean I like it so much that if I am at a salad bar and it is in the salad I will pick it all out and leave none for the rest I dont care I am greedy when it comes to it.

I have never grown it from seed before and am looking forward to it.

I was raised on rapini,I think if you saute it in olive oil like rapini that would be very good.Will have to look for it around here.

I just looked on line at our store prices for Radicchio.
They want $4.97 a pound for it.

I looked and suppliers sell to grocers at from 350 to 400 grams average per head.
400 grams is 14 ounces just 2 ounces under a pound.
So you are looking very close to 4.50 a head for the stuff.
No wonder it isn't rolling off the shelf.
When I was at the store the other day looking for seeds another lady customer asked me what I was looking for and I told her.
She had no idea what I was talking about.
After I explained to her what it was she then knew but had no idea that is what it was called.
