Radish Cherriette Hybrid
Vigorous plants mature quickly!
Shining 2-inch globes are both attractive and delicious!
24 days. A classic for quick, delicious, handsome crops! Cherriette is ready to eat just a little over 3 weeks from planting, though it can be left in the ground to grow larger without losing one whit of its crisp, fresh, ultra-mild flavor. The 2-inch fruits are slightly oval, with vibrant scarlet skin and pure white flesh. Gardeners have been enjoying this reliable performer for many years!
Cherriette is easy to grow and quick to harvest. Before planting, fertilize the soil and make sure that it is as loose, moist, and rich as possible, since the root needs space to develop and has little time to push its way through heavy soils. Fertilize again about 2 weeks after planting. Direct-sow successively every week from earliest spring until late spring or early summer, then again in late summer for fall crops. Radishes cannot withstand heat, so judge when to stop spring sowing based on the climate in your area. Pkt is 400 seeds.

Best radish so far
I have grown other radish varieties, but this one is exceptionally large and mild.I would highly recommend this one. You rarely see this one for sale at other seed companies, and Park's sells it at a very reasonable price. I think you will like this one much better than Cherry Belle or Cherry Bomb.
Nice solid yields
Like all radishes, it was easy to grow. Even when let to bulk up to the size of a golf ball they remained solid not pithy. Taste was sweet and mildly peppery.
