rat-tail radish
$ 4,50
Raphanus sativus var. caudatus, Brassicaceae
The rat's-tail radish has no edible root, but elegant, sharp-tasting, tapering fruits that undulate like a rat's tail. The plant grows tall and is covered with white flowers veined with blue. Fruits reach up to 25 cm in length and are violet or green. They are eaten immature, raw, cooked or pickled. Unlike common radishes, which prefer cool conditions, this is a heat-loving plant. 1 m high. 60 days to maturity from direct sowing.
