Radish - Easter Egg (Seeds)

Description

This is a colourful new addition to the radish family. Stunning intense shades of white, red, purple, pink and violet roots make this tasty radish a visual, as well as culinary, treat. The roots are large and smooth skinned, flesh is firm and crisp. An excellent novelty item for market gardeners seeking premium prices. Irrigation is essential for best flavour and root development. Although frost hardy, roots must be kept from freezing. 

How to Grow

Sow early varieties in a sunny site as soon as the ground is workable in the spring. Winter radishes are generally sown in mid-summer. Sow seed every two weeks 12 mm (1/2″) deep and about 2.5 cm (1″) apart in rows about 30 cm (12″) apart. Keep soil evenly moist during germination and growth. Harvest in 3-4 weeks when the roots have reached the size of a large marble. One packet sows approximately 6 m (20’) of row.
