At first glance, you might find yourself wondering if these elongated, slender and firey red roots are really radishes, but the flavour is all the evidence you need. And although we may be used to round radishes, you'll find that shape super-convenient when it comes to slicing them up for salads. As for the colour, the bright red outer skin is as striking as you could wish, while the pale, tender yet crispy inner flesh, has the characteristic bite of regular radishes.

Please note that this seed has been treated with an anti fungal agent Thiram. Seeds for sowing only and not for direct consumption.

Growing Information

How to Sow

Radishes are the ideal vegetable for the first time veg gardener. They germinate quickly, grow fast, and give you near-instant gratification. Consider staggering sowings so they arent all ready at once. Radishes should be sown directly where they are to grow. Cover lightly with soil, and keep moist till germination.

How to Harvest

Check the tops of the roots. They should either be slightly above or just under the soil surface. As soon as they start to swell, you can start harvesting. Simply uproot, wash off excess soil and cut off the tops to keep them fresh for longer if you dont plan to use them immediately.
