Radish Champion is an All-America Selections winner — a time-tested heirloom variety prized for its consistent performance and superior eating quality. These non-GMO seeds produce smooth, deep-red globe-shaped roots with a naturally crisp, mild flavor with a peppery finish — ideal for fresh salads, sandwich toppings, crudités, or standalone snacking. What sets Champion apart is its exceptional reliability: roots reach optimal size without becoming pithy or hollow, a common problem with slower varieties. Plants mature in just 25–30 days, making successive plantings practical for continuous cool-season harvests. Thrives in containers and raised beds with minimal space and maintenance.

Germination Rate: 80%. Test Date: 11/25. WILL.

Why Choose Radish Champion?

• All-America Selections Winner: An officially recognized AAS winner — independently trialed and awarded for outstanding garden performance across diverse growing regions.
• Smooth, Deep-Red Roots: Uniform, globe-shaped roots with clean, deep red skin and bright white interior — visually striking in salads and on platters.
• Stays Crisp, Not Pithy: Reaches optimal size without becoming hollow or pithy — the hallmark quality trait that earned Champion its AAS recognition.
• Rapid Maturity: Ready in just 25–30 days — one of the fastest crops from seed to table.
• Excellent for Containers: Compact growth habit makes Champion one of the best radish varieties for containers and raised beds.
• Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down through generations for at least 75 years — save seeds year after year.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6 hours per day for best root development. Tolerates light shade but may produce smaller roots.
• Soil: Loose, well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Remove rocks and clods that can cause misshapen roots.
• Planting: Direct sow ½ inch deep as soon as soil can be worked in spring, or 4–6 weeks before first fall frost. Do not transplant.
• Spacing: Sow seeds 1–2 inches apart in rows 6–12 inches apart. Thin to 2–3 inches apart once seedlings emerge.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist — inconsistent watering causes cracking and pithiness.
• Succession Sowing: Sow every 1–2 weeks for a continuous harvest throughout the cool season.
• Frost Tolerance: Tolerates light frosts — can be planted earlier in spring and later into fall than many other vegetables.
• Harvesting: Pull roots at 25–30 days when about 1 inch in diameter. Over-mature radishes become pithy — harvest promptly for best quality.
