Radish 'Shunkyo'
(35 days)
450 seeds $3.00
Shunkyo radish is our favorite variety for many reasons. The 5"-long roots have a sweet and mildly spicy flavor with a fine texture. It is slow to bolt, so there's no hurry to harvest. It can be sown throughout the season for a continuous supply because it doesn't mind the heat. The edible greens are prickle-free.
This marvelous radish comes from Northern China. Also known as Shunkyo Semi-Long. Latin name: Raphanus sativus
