Mr Fothergill's Radish Viola Seeds, Exceptional colour and flavour. For best quality harvest when roots are small. Save space by sowing between slower growing veg.

Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 20cm between rows. Early sowings, especially those in February will benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-10 days. Water well until plants are established. Thin only if plants are overcrowded. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply.

• Large, crisp roots with unusual, deep colour
• Easily pulled from the ground due to strong tops
• Excellent source of vitamin C

Sow time: Feb-Sep
Flowering/Harvesting time: Apr-Oct
