About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The classic spring radish with elongated, cylindrical, bright pink roots and a white tip. You sow it from March in a cold frame or from April outdoors, and then you harvest mild, juicy roots as early as asparagus season. Ostergruß Rosa tastes distinctly milder than the summer and winter radishes and stays tender for a long time when it grows briskly. An open pollinated early variety that brings colour to the bed and to the cold platter.
Mild and savoury with only a light heat, crisp and juicy, lovely raw in slices or in a salad.
