Raphanus sativus
RADISH-BLACK SPANISH is a uniquely black skinned vegetable, the crisp, white flesh of Black Spanish Round Radish has a strong flavor! A little slower to mature than some other Radish varieties, but I think this one is worth the wait! This radish was around when the Mona Lisa was painted! A true heirloom with a snowy white interior and jet black skin. Black Spanish is a great autumn/winter planted radish. The flesh is crisp & warming. Perfect for salads or raw with a little salt. Easy to grow. Impress your friends with a black radish!
Sow at regular intervals from very early spring & also early autumn. Radishes grow well in most soils but prefer rich, moist free draining soils. Sow into well-cultivated soil. Sow very thinly. Thin out seedlings to 3-5cm apart.
