Bring crisp texture and bright color to your cool-season garden with Radish Champion. This non-GMO heirloom produces round, deep-red roots with white flesh and a mild, peppery bite. Enjoy them sliced fresh, tucked into sandwiches, or roasted for a mellow side dish. Listed maturity is approximately 25–30 days under suitable conditions, making successive sowings practical for regular harvests.

Why Choose Champion Radish?

• Colorful Roots: Deep-red skin and crisp white interiors brighten salads and vegetable platters.
• Quick Harvest: Approximately 25–30-day maturity supports repeated cool-season sowings.
• Versatile Flavor: Enjoy a fresh peppery bite raw or a gentler flavor after roasting.
• Small-Space Friendly: Grow in beds or suitable containers with loose soil and good drainage.
• Heirloom and Non-GMO: Grow a traditional open-pollinated variety; seed saving requires appropriate isolation and allowing selected plants to flower and mature seed.

Planting Tips for Success

• Timing: Direct sow during cool spring or fall weather. Use local temperatures and frost dates rather than a fixed calendar for your region.
• Planting Depth: Sow approximately 1/2 inch deep. Direct sowing avoids disturbing developing roots.
• Spacing: Thin seedlings to approximately 2–3 inches apart so roots have room to develop.
• Sunlight: Provide at least 6 hours of direct sun where possible.
• Soil: Choose loose, well-drained soil. Remove stones and break up clods before sowing.
• Watering: Keep moisture even without waterlogging; drying and rewetting can affect root quality.
• Fertilizing: Follow soil-test guidance and avoid excess nitrogen, which can encourage foliage at the expense of roots.
• Succession Sowing: Sow small batches every 1–2 weeks while weather remains suitable.
• Harvest: Begin checking around 25 days, when roots are approximately 1 inch across. Harvest promptly rather than waiting for oversized roots.
