Purple Plum Radish

Purple Plum (Raphanus sativus) is a beautiful radish with juicy, crisp roots that are white on the inside with deep purple skin. In all but the hottest weather, the roots hold well. We direct sow this variety in the late winter here on our farm and get three weeks of harvests! This is pretty incredible, considering how fast they grow from seed.

26 days young, 40 mature. Annual.

Seeds are certified organic.
