Description and growing instructions below from Hudson Valley Seeds.

Stunning purple skin and crisp white interiors.

These radishes have the tasty, crisp white flesh of standard medium-sized red-radishes, but they boast gorgeous deep purple skin. Plant both in spring and add some striking variety to your salads.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS.

Direct sow in early May in rows spaced 10" apart. Thin small radish seedlings to 2-4" apart, depending on the variety. Keep watered, especially as the season warms up. Harvest radishes as soon as they are round; there is a small window to harvest them before they split. Store radishes without the top to keep roots firm. (Tops are enjoyable in a saute or braising mix.) Radishes are fast growing, so plant in successions for a steady crop.
