Good to know
  • Beautiful two-tone scarlet-and-white skin creates attractive visual contrast on fresh vegetable platters
  • Sweet, mild, crisp texture with very low pungency when harvested at peak size
  • Rapid maturity window (~25 days) allows fast crop turnover, ideal for interplanting between long-season crops
  • Must be harvested promptly upon reaching 1 to 1.5 inches to prevent roots from turning pithy
  • Extended summer heat spells cause plants to bolt quickly, increasing root bitterness
