Radish - Chinese Green Meat Luobo seeds

Raphanus sativus
Pack: 70 seeds, 10g, 25g, 100g

Introducing the coolest of all cool season annuals! A popular heirloom radish from north China, an old rare Chinese standard. This peculiar radish has sweet and crisp, bright green flesh. Its skin is a delightful variety of green with an elegant white tip. The roots mature to 12 to 25cm long but can be plucked up at 7-8cm in diameter for your convenience.

If you live in a mild climate, this is the vegetable for you! Planting seeds in late summer or autumn will yield great results; ensure that your soil is fertile and well-drained. Keep it moist while fertilising as needed to get the most out of your harvest. However, if planted during springtime, these vegetables may bolt due to warmer temperatures which could result in smaller-than-expected roots. Perfectly suitable for salads, pickles, or even cooking - store it away after reaping your rewards without any worries!
