China Rose - Radish
Purchased from Valley Greene, in 2022.
Description and growing instructions below from Rare seeds.
60 days. This fall type radish from China has piquant gourmet flavor rooted in ancient history. A carrot-shaped and cold-hardy fall/winter type radish, it grows about 6 to 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. Its texture and taste can only be described as scrumptious. We love the crispy, juicy roots sliced raw in salads and pickles, but they also lend themselves beautifully to cooked preparations.
