Radish Hailstone is a mild white radish with crisp, juicy roots and excellent garden versatility. The smooth white radishes reach peak eating quality at approximately 1 inch across and mature in about 30 days, making them a satisfying choice for quick spring and fall harvests. Their gentle flavor works beautifully in fresh salads, snack plates, and vegetable platters without overpowering other ingredients, while their lasting crispness helps extend the enjoyment of each harvest.

Why Choose Hailstone Radish?

• Mild, Delicate Flavor: Produces crisp roots with a gentle flavor for gardeners who prefer a softer bite than hot radishes.
• Bright White Roots: Smooth white radishes add clean color and visual appeal to salads, crudités, and garden plates.
• Quick 30-Day Harvest: A fast-growing crop that helps provide fresh produce early in the season or before fall weather turns cold.
• Excellent Crispness: Tender, juicy roots hold their satisfying crunch after harvest when stored properly.
• Spring and Fall Versatility: Performs well as a cool-season crop for two useful planting windows.
• Heirloom and Open-Pollinated: A traditional variety valued for its dependable shape, mild flavor, and seed-saving potential.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Produced through traditional breeding methods without genetic modification.

Planting Tips for Success

• When to Plant: Direct sow in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Avoid planting during extended hot weather, which can encourage bolting and stronger flavor.
• Sunlight: Plant in full sun to partial shade, with at least 6 hours of light each day.
• Soil: Choose loose, fertile, well-drained soil free of stones and hard clumps so roots can develop smoothly.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds approximately ½ inch deep and thin seedlings after emergence to allow roots room to size up.
• Spacing: Thin plants to approximately 1–2 inches apart, or follow packet spacing guidance.
• Succession Planting: Sow small batches every 1–2 weeks during the cool season for a steady supply of fresh roots.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist. Inconsistent moisture can lead to pithy roots, splitting, or uneven growth.
• Fertilizing: Mix compost into the soil before planting. Avoid heavy nitrogen applications, which can encourage leafy tops instead of well-formed roots.
• Harvesting: Harvest when roots are near 1 inch across or at the size you prefer. Pull promptly once mature for the best tenderness and crispness.
