Zlata Radish: Growing Tips

Key facts

Listed for

United States

Overview

Zlata is a Polish radish with round roots wrapped in golden-yellow skin over crisp white flesh and a mild flavor. Compared with many red radishes it is slower to turn pithy or harsh as the weather warms, which stretches the harvest a little further into the season. The color is the draw: it stands out in a mixed bed and adds contrast on a relish plate or in pickles. Direct sow half an inch deep into cool, moist ground, thin to about an inch, water evenly to prevent cracking, and re-sow every week or two.
