Radish - Cherry Belle
Raphanus sativus
About
A quick-maturing variety with bright scarlet skin and crisp white flesh. We love the way radishes signal that summer is well on the way! These cherry-like beauties are so fresh and crunchy and such a welcome addition to the lunch plate after the hungry gap. This variety was awarded an RHS Award of Garden Merit, making it an excellent choice for home gardeners.
