(Raphanus sativus)

This beautiful heirloom Chinese winter radish bears the traditional name of “Xin li mei” meaning “Beauty Within The Heart”, to reflect the candy pink interior surrounded by a gleaming white skin with light green shoulders. This very sweet and tasty radish is excellent for cooking, using in salads and as a colourful garnish. Best for late summer and autumn plantings the 10cm round roots are ready to harvest in 50 days from planting. Plants may bolt in warm and dry weather.
