Description

High quality half-long, cylindrical radishes with a white tip. When you bite into Radish Flamboyant Sabina, the first reaction is "wow!". The flavour really is refreshingly strong, crisp and clean. It's just what the summer salads needs.

Sowing Instructions

Radishes grow well in most soils, but prefer rich, moist free draining soils. Sow seeds at regular intervals from March-August into well cultivated soil. Sow seeds very thinly 1cm (½in) deep in drills 15cm (6in) apart.

Growing Instructions

Thin out seedlings to 3-5cm (1-2in) apart. Water during dry spells.

Aftercare

For summer sowings choose a moist cool spot to prevent running to seed. As radishes grow so fast and use less of the soil goodness, use them totally as a catch crop with other slower-maturing produce. Harvest as soon as the roots reach reasonable size, if left too long they will become hot and woody.

Nutritional Information

Radishes are rich in Vitamin C and potassium and contain sulphur compounds.
