Alison,

Yes, the outer leaves are green and and inner head is red and white which
is what we usually think if as radicchio.  Hot weather may cause plants to
bolt and go to seed before heads form.

I think I prefer leaf lettuce, esp. red leaf to radicchio. I tried it last
year to add variety and color to my salads, but found radicchio rather slow
growing for the effort.

Have you had success with other types of lettuce? Mesculan? Paris Market?
