Radish White Icicle Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds produce crisp, white-fleshed radishes known for their mild, tangy pungency and satisfying crunch. The slender cylindrical roots grow up to 5 inches long and develop quickly — one of the fastest-maturing vegetables you can grow, ready in just 25 days. Best suited for cool weather, White Icicle radishes also serve as natural insect deterrents, particularly effective against squash vine borers when planted as a companion alongside squash and cucurbits.

Why Choose Radish White Icicle?

• Incredibly Fast Harvest: Ready in just 25 days — one of the quickest vegetables from seed to table, perfect for impatient gardeners and succession planting.
• Slender Cylindrical Shape: Crisp 5-inch white roots with mild, tangy flavor — excellent fresh, sliced, or pickled.
• Natural Pest Deterrent: Effective companion plant that deters squash vine borers and other common garden pests when interplanted with squash and cucurbits.
• Cool Season Performer: Thrives in spring and fall when other crops struggle — ideal for extending your growing season.
• Doomsday Garden Approved: Recommended by David as part of a resilient survival seed collection.
• 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 to partial shade — at least 4–6 hours per day. Radishes bolt quickly in full heat.
• Soil: Loose, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Remove rocks and clods to allow straight root development.
• 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 inch apart in rows 6–12 inches apart. Thin to 2 inches apart once seedlings emerge.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist — inconsistent watering causes cracking and pithy roots.
• Succession Sowing: Sow every 1–2 weeks for a continuous harvest throughout the cool season.
• Companion Planting: Interplant with squash, cucumbers, and melons to deter squash vine borers and other pests.
• Harvesting: Pull roots at 25 days when ¾ inch in diameter. Over-mature radishes become pithy and too pungent — harvest promptly.
