Growing Purple Plum Radishes in Your Garden
Purple Plum radishes are a stunning addition to any vegetable garden, offering both visual appeal and a delicious, crisp bite. These vibrant root vegetables are known for their deep purple skin and white interior, making them as beautiful on the plate as they are in the garden bed.
Why Choose Purple Plum Radishes?
If you're looking for a radish variety that stands out, Purple Plum radishes deliver on multiple fronts. They mature quickly, typically ready to harvest in just 25 to 30 days, making them perfect for gardeners who want fast results. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor makes them ideal for fresh salads, slaws, and even roasting. Plus, their striking color adds visual interest to any dish.
Planting and Care
Purple Plum radishes thrive in cool-season gardens and prefer well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Plant seeds directly into the garden about half an inch deep, spacing them 2 inches apart in rows. They prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as this helps prevent the roots from becoming woody or bitter.
These radishes are relatively pest-resistant and don't require heavy fertilization. A light application of balanced fertilizer at planting time is usually sufficient. They grow best in temperatures between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, making spring and fall ideal planting seasons.
Harvesting Your Crop
Check your radishes around day 25 by gently uncovering the top of the root. When they reach about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, they're ready to harvest. Pull them from the soil and rinse immediately. For the best flavor and texture, harvest before they become too large, as oversized radishes can develop a hollow center.
Storage and Use
Fresh Purple Plum radishes keep well in the refrigerator for up to two weeks when stored in a plastic bag. Remove the greens before storing to extend their shelf life. Enjoy them raw in salads, pickled for a tangy treat, or roasted with a drizzle of olive oil for a warm side dish.

Safe Seed Pledge
OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
