Radish (Watermelon)
Watermelon Radish is a stunning heirloom variety prized for its pale green skin and vibrant pink centre, resembling a watermelon when sliced. It has a crisp, juicy texture with a mild, slightly sweet flavour and a gentle peppery finish—much less sharp than common radish varieties. As it matures, the flavour becomes even sweeter, making it a favourite for fresh eating. Seedlings arrive at 10–14cm including the root system. Space rows 15–25cm apart and plants 20cm apart. Ready to harvest in 6–8 weeks depending on your location and weather. Watermelon Radishes thrive in full sun with well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. They require consistent watering to encourage even growth and prevent splitting. They tolerate light shade and mild frost, performing best in cooler growing conditions. Best enjoyed raw to showcase their vibrant colour—thinly sliced in salads, layered on sandwiches, or arranged on platters. They can also be pickled for a bright, tangy crunch. When roasted or sautéed, they develop a mellow, slightly sweet flavour. The leafy tops are edible too and can be used in salads, pestos, or cooked like spinach.

This is a daikon-type radish variety, ideal for late autumn and winter harvest. It produces firm, round radishes with a distinctive green and white exterior and bright pink flesh. The roots develop strong tops and deliver a sweet flavour with consistent size and shape. Note that Watermelon Radish takes longer to mature than standard red varieties—allow 70–100 days total from seed to harvest. Seedlings arrive at 10–14cm including the root system.
