Overview
Snowy is a hybrid long white radish that matures early and resists bolting, giving tapered roots about 9 inches long and 3 inches wide that do not turn pithy. It can be sown in spring for a summer harvest or in summer for fall, which is unusual flexibility for a long white type. Deep, loose soil keeps the roots straight.
