Overview
Crimson Giant is a large spring radish with crimson to scarlet globes about 1.75 inches across and solid white flesh that never goes pithy or hollow. The flavor is mild and the texture crisp and tender, on tall tops. Sow directly in cool weather, first in early spring and then again toward the end of summer, thin early so roots can swell, and keep moisture even to avoid cracking. Its speed and size suit children and impatient gardeners.
