Daikon/Korean Radish Seeds

Daikon and Korean radishes grow large, crisp, mild white roots, the base of kimchi, pickles, and countless Asian dishes. They take longer than salad radishes, about 45 to 60 days, and do well sown in late summer for fall harvest. Spring sowings tend to bolt. KN-Bravo has a light purple tint. Miyashige is a classic long Japanese daikon. Mini Mak is compact, Summit is a sturdy Korean type, and Summer Cross No. 3 handles heat better than most. Loose, deep soil gives the longest roots. Large daikons also work as a cover crop to break up compaction.
