Radish ‘White Icicle’ – Irish Seed

‘White Icicle’ is a summer radish (Raphanus sativus) which produces medium sized pure white tapered roots. Quick to mature and can be harvested after 3-5 weeks. Can be sown indoors from March and outdoors from April. Sow in a row with seeds 1.5cm apart and 25cm apart. Thin out as necessary after a couple of weeks. It is good to sow a small row every few weeks of the season to keep a steady supply.

Though in appearance like a winter daikon radish, it is a summer radish so for eating quality they are best grown and eaten fresh. However, for seed saving it is useful to overwinter them from a late summer/early autumn sowing. That way, the roots will flower early and should be ripening seed during the summer when conditions are, in theory, optimal.
