About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An old white variety with elongated, icicle-shaped tubers that grow 6 to 8 cm long and resemble small icicles. It tastes stronger and spicier than red globe radishes and stays crunchy even in warmer weather. You sow it from April a bit deeper and with more spacing because the roots grow long. It is a self‑seeding lover's variety that brings visual and taste variety to the bed.
Strong and spicy with pleasant heat, juicy and long‑lasting, a nice contrast to ‚Cherry Belle’.
