Starburst Radish
60 days. It's easy to see why watermelon-type radishes are all the rage. They are by far the prettiest variety we've grown. The sweet, white roots have brilliant fuchsia-colored flesh with light pink streaks radiating from the center, earning its stellar name. Best planted in early spring or fall, Starburst dresses up veggie platters, salads and makes delicious pickles, too!

Stargazer Radish
60 days. Stargazer offers a beautiful flavorful crop with sturdy tops, well-shaped roots, and vibrant color inside and out. The 1 1/2-2 1/2 inch, globe-shaped roots are brilliantly colored with white and green skin and sharply contrasting pink-streaked, fuchsia flesh. Best for cooler season plantings, Stargazer's flavor remains mild and refreshing whether planted in early spring or fall.
