Cincinnati Market Radish

€2,50 EUR

Rare radish with a beautiful taste and scarlet color

 

Cincinnati Market Radish is an Heirloom from mid 1800’s. It presents itself more like a carrot, generous in size 6” or more, with thin scarlet skin and white brittle flesh. The oldest varieties of radish were of the long type, this being one of the most widely grown in the 1800’s, until replaced by smaller round radishes. We found it adapting well to small spaces, providing good yields from our raised beds. Also known as Long Scarlet. Great for autumn and winter planting.
