High yielding 4-5"H easy to grow plants produce bright scarlet red, smooth, firm, 1½" globe shaped fruits. Mild, crisp, white flesh does not get hot or pithy at maturity like many other radishes. Outstanding keeping ability. Excellent cooler weather variety for short season climates. Grow well in containers. Great for eating fresh in salads and for garnishes.
Pollination occurs by insect, bird, wind, humans, or other natural mechanisms. Because there are no restrictions on the flow of pollen between individuals, open-pollinated plants are more genetically diverse. However, as long as pollen is not shared between different varieties within the same species, then the seed produced will remain true-to-type year after year.
This variety has a history of being passed down within a family or community, similar to the generational sharing of certain items like jewelry or furniture.
