Mr Fothergills Radish Red Meat 100 Seeds

Radish - Red Meat

This is a traditional type of large Chinese radish, popularly used in oriental stir-fries and salads. It is known in China as the 'Beauty Heart' Radish because of its attractive pink flesh which has a sweet, slightly nutty taste. Unusually the flavour becomes more delicate as the roots mature.

Sow outdoors thinly, from June to August, where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained, fertile soil, which has already been watered. Allow 23cm between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Water well until plants are established. Thin, August to September, only if plants are overcrowded. Keep moist, as dry conditions may cause tough roots. Harvest from September to November. Lift roots in November and store in a cool, airy place.
