Overview
Amethyst is an F1 spring radish whose skin is a smooth, bright purple over crisp white flesh, bred for uniformly round roots and reliable color. Foliage is medium sized, and roots are ready in about 30 days. Flavor is mild and clean as long as roots are pulled at about an inch across; left longer they turn peppery. Sow directly once the soil is workable, thin seedlings to 2 inches, and plan fall and early spring sowings in warm regions since it bolts fast in summer heat. Repeat sowing every two to three weeks.
