Developed in as a Parisian marketplace variety, and introduced to North America since in the early 1880’s.
Thick robust roots are cylindrical with a blunt end, growing up to 4” (10cm) in length with a very small tap root. Bright rose red in colour for the top portion of the root with a snowy-white bottom. Flesh is bright white and crisp with a distinctive spicy flavour, too hot for some. Excellent quality radish with firm green tops. Needs to be harvested when ready or it has a tendency to hollow-out at the centre. Matures in 20-30 days. (115 seeds/g)
Tips for Growing Radiant Radishes! Radishes are one of the most versatile vegetables to grow. Forgiving of almost all soil types, they do need sun and can be planted as soon as the ground can be worked. Sow seeds 1/2” (1cm) deep and thin to 2” (5cm) apart. Provide ample water so that they grow quickly and avoid becoming corky. Radishes are excellent companion plants with squash, beans, cucumbers, melons, carrots, parsnips, peas, and spinach. They also have a particularly good relationship with lettuce. Do not plant radishes near hyssop. Radishes usually germinates within 4-7 days (45-85ºF/7-30ºC)
