About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The fast, round early radish for the start of the season: bright red, even roots that you harvest after a good four weeks. Saxa 3 stays crisp for a long time and hardly tends to go pithy if you water regularly. You sow from March in the cold frame or outdoors in a thin row and pull one of the first harvests of the year out of the ground. A reliable, open pollinated variety that also succeeds in a pot on the balcony.
Mild and spicy with a fine heat, the flesh stays white and juicy, perfect on buttered bread.
