Radish Sweet Baby F1

2016 Edible – Vegetable Winner

Sweet Baby accurately describes the look of this beautiful purple/white/rose-colored radish. The All-America Selections Judges commented on the improved exterior quality of this radish, in addition to the uniform size and the excellent taste, which was crispy, crunchy, and slightly spicy.  The internal color ranges from pale purple to white with violet streaks to mostly white with just a few purple splashes of color.  Sweet Baby proved itself to be quick-growing, maturing in just 40 to 45 days which means many home gardeners can have successive sowings for season-long radishes.

  1. kevin schoessow – 08/18/2017

    We left our sweet baby radish grow well past the recommended 3 inch harvest size and 40-45 days. With all the rain and our amended soil in our raised bed, the radish grew to be well over 4 inches in diameter and nearly six inches long. To my surprise the texture and taste were still very acceptable. It was not woody or overly spicey which often occurs as radishes get older.
