Cherry Belle Spring Radish
Radish that grows well in clay soil
- Crimson skin and mild white flesh
- Thrives in clay soil and is fast to mature
- Stays crisp in refrigerator for weeks
- Best radish for shady conditions
True to its name, Cherry Belle is a cherry-sized, uniform radish with crimson skin and mild white flesh with just a little bite. It's crisp, firm, and a good variety for bunching. It won't get pithy, either. No wonder it's a classic favorite! Try planting these radish seeds with one of our easy-to-use 12" x 12" seed mats! Cherry Belle seeds are encased in biodegradable paper that protects the seeds during germination and dissolves in the course of watering. Simply cut the tape to the desired length, place in the garden or in one of our Grow Tub® containers and water--no worries about over- or under-seeding! 29 days to maturity.
