Round Pink with White Tip - Radish

This extremely early variety produces round, pink roots with white tips, and firm, crunchy flesh, ideal for crudités. It is the only garden radish that is truly pink.

Characteristics of the Round Pink Radish with White Tip

Raphanus sativus is an all-month variety of radish. It is a hardy vegetable in the Brassicaceae family. Its round root, 3 to 5 cm in diameter, is bright pink with a white tip. This variety of radish is best enjoyed raw. The young leaves are also edible, raw or cooked like spinach.

Round radishes also include the Red Round White Tip radish and the Red Round Sora radish.

When to sow Pink Round Point radishes?

Round radishes are sown directly in the ground, from February to October. All-month varieties require loose soil, frequent watering and temperatures between 15 and 21°C.

Sow seeds in the vegetable garden, in rows 30 cm apart. Thin to 5 cm along the row. In summer, plant round radishes in a cool, damp, shady spot. In spring and autumn, choose a warm, sheltered location. For cultivation in February, it's best to sow under a frame. Water regularly.

In the vegetable garden, round radishes grow harmoniously alongside many other vegetables: lettuce, beans, carrots and cucumbers.

When to harvest round radishes

Round radishes are harvested from March to November. This variety is harvested 2 to 3 weeks after sowing, when the root is not too large and the tops are a beautiful green color. Its pungent taste is accentuated by dry spells and late harvests.

Unlike winter radishes, every-month radishes don't keep long in cellars or silos. The root is usually eaten immediately after harvesting, raw or cooked. It will keep for a week in the refrigerator crisper, and for a few months when prepared pickle-style.
