This type of radish can grow as large as a small apple without becoming woody. They require constant even moisture. Easter Egg II radish seeds are a blend of six different coloured radishes. The flesh is crispy and white yet mild, making great snacks for children and adults alike.  The colours of the flesh are white, rose pink, bubblegum pink, amethyst, mauve, scarlet and purple roots. The roots are round and grow at a similar rate. Great for both for spring and fall growing.  Try our planting method for radishes in groups of 3-4 seeds, pulling out the largest in each group. Sow in spring every 1-2 weeks to have a continual crop in the spring, but save some seed to sow again in late August for fall crops. Don’t keep in the ground once they start to get woody or bolt.

QUICK FACTS

  • Matures in 28 days

  • Open-pollinated seeds

  • Main season radish.

  • 4-7 cm long roots

The secret to growing a great radish is to plant when the weather is cool, to not plant too close together, and to harvest promptly before the roots get woody and bitter. Exceptionally loose soil promotes healthy larger radishes.

Plant in early spring or fall when the weather is cooler.

Radishes like very rich loose compost, ample fertilization, and water. Try planting radishes in groups of 3 to 4 seeds per hole and plant about 1/2 to 1 cm deep, spacing the holes 15-20 cm apart and harvest the largest radish in each group. Alternately plant in rows spacing seeds 8 to 12 cm apart and thinning to 4 seedlings per 30 cm.

The use of row covers helps prevent root maggots.
