Product Description
Large, easy-to-grow radishes hold their sweet taste and crispness—even when they get large. Champion Radish is mild-flavored, without the hot, peppery flavor that is common with other radish varieties. This fast-maturing variety doesn't get pithy. Planting Champion Radish is very easy when using our seed tapes. The seeds will arrive wrapped in a protective biodegradable paper that keeps them safe during the germination process and dissolves with regular watering. Cut the desired length of seed tape and place it in the garden or in a Gardens Alive! Grow Tub. Water after setting the tape and then water as needed. There's no risk of overseeding or undersowing with the seed tape. 25 days to maturity.
