Why does my radicchio look like green lettuce?

So...My radicchio was really slow to get going - planted in November - I'm in Los Angeles - and the last month it's really grown - but is coming up green, nothing like the packet or any radicchio I've ever seen!

Is it edible? Should I pull it and plant something else or will it mature and turn red?

Obviously, it's way past the 65 day maturity window on the packet - it's botanical interests seed. It's planted in raised beds - and has been getting more sun recently. It turns out my north east facing backyard gets very little direct sun in the winter...bah. Could it be not enough direct sun?

So confused!

thoughts?
