Misato Rose

Raphanus sativus ( 60 days) 

Also known as Chinese Red Heart. Watermelon radish is characterized by scarlet red flesh with a green/white skin, grown from late-summer planting (throughout August) for autumn harvest and storage for winter use. The flavor and texture of 'Misato Rose' is sweet and turnip-like, with a mild radish finish. Spaced 4" apart, these roots get 4-6" in diameter, and make some serious winter food that is strikingly colorful and nutritious. Makes a fantastic ingredient for kim chi, is beautiful when shredded with cole slaw and carrot, or sliced and slivered into winter salads. Not suitable for spring planting.  A beautiful radish!

Packet ( 2 1/2 g ~ 250 seeds)
