Radish (Graffiti)
```html
Striped Radish is a unique and visually striking variety, recognised for its bright red skin with distinctive white striping. Inside, the flesh is crisp, white and juicy, with a mild peppery flavour that is less intense than traditional radishes.
Its refreshing crunch and balanced taste make it perfect for everyday use, while its eye-catching appearance adds interest to salads, garnishes and fresh dishes. This fast-growing and reliable variety is a great choice for both home gardeners and market growers.
Each QPS Striped Radish seedling is supplied as a live, nursery-grown transplant-ready plant. QPS has already handled the germination and early growth stage, giving growers a strong start and a faster path to harvest.
A healthy live Striped Radish seedling at the transplant stage, approximately 10–14 cm tall including the root system. Plant into well-drained soil enriched with organic matter and keep moisture consistent for even growth and crisp roots.

Growing Journey: Seedling to Harvest
| Stage | Timeline | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| What You Receive | Transplant-ready seedling | You receive a live seedling around 10–14 cm tall including roots. |
| Establishment | Week 1 after transplant | Seedling settles into prepared soil. Keep watering consistent. |
| Root Development | Weeks 2–5 after transplant | Roots begin sizing up while developing their bright striped skin. |
| Harvest Ready | Approx. weeks 6–8 | Harvest when roots are crisp, juicy and well coloured. |
Success Checklist
| Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Plant in full sun | Supports strong growth and healthy root development. |
| Use well-drained soil enriched with organic matter | Helps roots grow evenly and reduces stress. |
| Keep watering consistent | Helps prevent splitting, toughness and woody roots. |
| Space plants 20 cm apart | Gives roots room to size up properly. |
| Harvest on time | Maintains crisp texture, mild flavour and attractive appearance. |
Fresh Eating, Cooking & Kitchen Uses
Pickling: Slice thinly and pickle for added flavour, colour and crunch.
Cooking: Roast or sauté lightly to soften the peppery bite and bring out a milder, slightly sweet flavour.
Edible greens: The leaves can be used in salads, pesto or cooked like spinach.
Pest & Care Notes
Common issues: splitting from irregular watering, woody roots from heat or drought stress, and poor shape from compacted soil.
Best defence: consistent moisture, loose well-drained soil, good spacing and harvesting before roots become oversized.
Striped Radish performs best with steady moisture and loose soil. Avoid letting the crop dry out between waterings, as this can cause splitting or woody roots. Harvest while young and crisp for the best flavour and appearance.
