Black Spanish Round Radish
Raphanus sativus
Biennial in our climate. Open pollinated.
Winter radish.
One of the oldest heirlooms, since the 1500s, grown in North America since the 1800s. Roots are 3-4 “, black with a white interior. The flesh is spicy, but milder than summer radishes. These are storage radishes - they will keep well stored in sand (or your fridge) for the winter months.
Great eaten raw, or cooked (like a regular radish, it will lose its spiciness when cooked).
60-70 days to maturity. If growing for winter months, be sure to sow directly in the soil mid/end July (or 70 days before your last fall harvest).
50-75 seeds per pack.
Seed starting:
Winter radish. Plant directly outside in the summer - if sown in the spring, these radishes will bolt. Sow 1/4inch deep, thin to about 3 inches 5 inches apart.
