Lady Slipper radish is a beautiful rosy-pink radish with white flesh. It has a wonderful crisp and mild taste.
The somewhat elongated shape and colour of Pink Lady Slipper radish does look a bit like the flower of the Pink Lady Slipper orchid (Cypripedium acaule), see image, after whom the radish is named according to the seedsavers at Fedco (USA).
How to Plant: Easy to grow. Sow seeds outside just before the last frost date and then sow seeds every 2 weeks into summer for a continuous harvest. Radishes do best in cooler weather. Plant seeds 5mm (¼”), spacing seeds every 2”. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge. Seeds usually germinate in 4-7 days.
