Great radish to grow! I planted Roxanne, German Giant, Champion and Crimson Giant all at the same time, Roxanne was the best, grew faster and was uniformed. All the seeds turned into great looking radishes.
Ami –
I love this variety of radish. Very easy to grow and is ready for harvest in about a month after you plant the seeds. I grew them in a aluminum foil tray and it worked really well.
