Easter Egg Radish Seeds for Colorful, Mild Radishes

Easter Egg Radishes are a vibrant blend of small globe-shaped radishes in various colors including red, pink, purple, white, and bi-color (red top, white base). They mature quickly, typically within 25 to 30 days, making them perfect for cool-season spring and fall planting. The radishes feature crisp, juicy white flesh with a mild, peppery flavor and broad, flat edible tops with a slightly spicy taste that can be used as greens.

How to grow Easter Egg Radishes
Sow seeds directly outdoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost or in late summer for fall harvest. Sow seeds ½ inch deep with 1 inch spacing in rows 12 inches apart. Maintain consistent moisture and thin seedlings to 2 inches apart. Germination occurs in 5-10 days under cool and moist conditions. Seeds are sensitive to disturbance, so direct sowing is recommended over transplanting.
