Description
French heirloom variety that produces 1-1.5″ mild, round radishes with a purple skin and white flesh. Resistant to cracking AND getting pithy, which is a major plus!
Radish – Purple Plum – Raphanus sativus
Soil & Water: Radishes prefer well-drained soil with plenty of added organic matter. They have low nutrient requirements; especially avoid excess nitrogen to promote good root development. Preferred soil pH is 6.0-7.0.
Planting & Growing: Cool weather is needed for best development, especially for this variety. Sow seed directly wherever there is extra space in the garden. Radishes make good, living row markers for slower germinating crops like carrots.
