Did not produce radishes for me
EGEpic GardeningNov 21, 2023Hey Perry, It sounds like you had a really tough growing season. I hope you respond to the email we sent so we can "dig" a little deeper into this. When radishes do not form a bulb, generally there is something else at play. Like most radishes, Crimson Giant produces best in cooler weather; growing these during the heat of the summer may result in little to no root development but will still produce greens. As we suggest on our packet, this one is best grown during the cooler months of the spring or fall, and it's a fast-grower that will typically produce a nice-sized radish in 28 days after germination. I hope that helps.

I loved these radishes, best radish I have ever had. I planted them in a container garden and they grew quickly and were mild, yet spicy at the same time. Delicious. Doubled my order this year.
