seeds
Raphanus sativus
(23 days) Open pollinated. Shiny red 1–1½" orbs with crisp white interiors. A classic, done well. Impressively heat tolerant; roots can become quite large while maintaining round shape and resisting pithiness. Grows well all season but Sora really shines in hot weather, which is sora-ly needed as our Northeast springs continue to warm. NEW!

Additional Information

Red Round Radishes

About 1,800-3,200 seeds/oz.

Ready for harvest at about the size of a quarter and will rapidly get woody if allowed to grow much larger

Culinary: Parboil the greens and roots separately, then eat them together as very early spring salad. And the pot liquor, mmmm…
