Radish Carmen is a fast maturing, uniform variety known for its bright red roots, crisp texture, and mild, refreshing flavour.

 

This reliable type produces round, smooth skinned radishes with firm white flesh that stays tender even as the roots size up.

 

Carmen is valued for its rapid growth and excellent resistance to pithiness, making it ideal for both early and main season sowings.

 

The roots develop quickly and evenly, offering consistent quality for salads, garnishes, and fresh snacking. Its strong tops and uniform shape also make it suitable for small scale production and market gardens.

 

It performs well in cooler conditions and can be sown repeatedly for a continuous supply throughout spring, summer, and early autumn.

 

An excellent choice for gardeners seeking a dependable, quick cropping radish with bright colour, crisp texture, and excellent flavour.

Sowing Instructions

 

Outdoors:

Sow from February to September in shallow drills 1 cm deep and spaced 15 cm apart. Water gently and thin seedlings if necessary to allow roots to develop evenly. Keep soil moist to prevent the roots from becoming woody or overly spicy.

 

Containers:

Use a wide container with light compost. Sow thinly, water consistently, and harvest roots while young and crisp.

Radish Carmen rewards gardeners with bright, crunchy roots and reliable harvests throughout the growing season.
