I'm the ultimate heart lover but off hand I can't think of any I've grown that are ribbed.I have a list of hearts I've grown in my data book, but stopped listing them maybe two years ago, so to date,maybe several hundreds of heart varieties grown.

My two favorite kinds of varieties to grow have been hearts and Green When Ripes , and yes,there are some GWR hearts as well,well maybe just one that I can remember right now and that is Reinhard's Green Heart.

Finally getting back to you. And I hope you are looking for varieties for next year since in Indiana IMO it's too late to start sowing seeds for this year.

Anna Margaret's Heart,pink
Orange Russian 117, the first bicolor heart ever
Orange Minsk Heart
Lithuanian Crested Pink
Ludmilla's Pink Heart
Orange Strawberry
Tsar Kolokol
Omar's Lebanese Heart,pink
Kosovo,pink

and now some others that I've always liked

Danko,red

Brad's Black Heart
Fish Lake Oxheart
Granny's Heart

Kukla's Portuguese Heart, red
Milka's Red Bulgarian

Serdtse Buivola, (heart of the buffalo)
Ukranian Heart
Wes,red
Sgt Pepper, pink with antho shoulders
Bytse Serdtse aka Cour di Bui orange
Aunt Sophie, red heart
Pink Delice, heart

Sheryl's Portuguese Red Heart
Toltuska, raspberry/ Pink Heart
Reinhard's Green Heart
Reinhard's Purple Heart
Reinhar's Purple Heart
Yaponets, red heart
Slastyona, red heart
Indian Striped heart, PL

I think the above are enough for now.

And several new hearts sent to me from Andrey, already being selected by the seed producer group.

And several new hearts sent to me by Lotte, but not written down in my data book so would have to search my e-mails to find that list.Too much on my to do list right now.

Of the ones I listed about all were grown for me,or in the past by me.

Carolyn,who knows she's a dedicated heart lover, but as the years go forward,she's been more interested in taste,than fruit form or yield.
