Overview
Roxanne F1 from Bejo Seeds won a national All-America Selections award in 2015. It produces round radishes about 1.5 inches across with red skin and white interior, and the flesh stays free of pithiness and bleeding even if roots wait in the ground a few days beyond ideal size or meet a warm spell. Plants are compact and upright, about 8 inches tall, ready 27 days after direct sowing, which allows repeated plantings through spring or fall. Sow half an inch deep in loose soil, thin as tops emerge (the thinnings are edible), and keep water even for smooth roots. It also grows well in a pot 16 inches wide.
