Key facts

United States

Overview

Rudi is an open-pollinated red bunching radish from the Dutch company Enza Zaden, bred before the firm moved to hybrids. Roots are globe shaped with bright white flesh, crisp and refreshing, uniform and quick to mature. Its notable trait is field holding: it stays in good condition in the bed far longer than most open-pollinated bunching types, so the harvest window is forgiving. Sow in cool weather with steady moisture.
