Mixed Colour Radish Seeds | Red, Yellow, White & Purple

Ravanelli Colorati is a cheerful blend of round radishes in red, yellow, white and purple, ideal for brightening up rows in the garden and adding colour to the salad bowl. Roots are small, spherical and crisp, with a fresh, mildly spicy flavour that is perfect for eating raw, slicing thinly or serving whole on a crudité platter.​
This is an early mixture with good resistance to going hollow or woody, so bulbs stay firm and juicy for longer when picked at the right stage. Easy and quick to grow, it is a great choice for beginners, children and anyone who wants fast results and plenty of colour.​

Growing information

🌱 Sowing

• Sow direct in shallow drills in open ground or raised beds, on a fine, well‑prepared seedbed.

• In climates like Ireland, you can sow from February or March under cover or fleece, then outdoors from March through early autumn for almost continuous crops.​

☀️ Light

• Grows best in full sun but will tolerate light partial shade, which can help keep roots mild and slow to bolt in warmer weather.​

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist for even growth and tender roots.

• Avoid letting beds dry out completely, as this can lead to splitting or stronger flavour.​

🌡️ Germination

• Germinates quickly in cool, moist soil, often in 5–10 days in typical spring and early summer temperatures.​

📏 Spacing & size

• Sow thinly and then thin seedlings to about 3–5 cm apart so each plant can form a neat round root.​

• Plants stay compact, around 10–15 cm tall, making them suitable for intercropping between slower vegetables.​
