Radish Black Spanish

Grow Black Spanish Radish

Discover the unique qualities of Radish Black Spanish, a winter-hardy heirloom variety with a striking appearance.

These open-pollinated radishes feature a distinctive black outer skin that contrasts beautifully with their milky white and tender interior, which delivers a pleasant bite. Growing into large, turnip-shaped globes reaching 3-4 inches in diameter, Black Spanish Round radishes offer solid, crisp, and pungent pure-white flesh.

Primarily grown for winter storage, these radishes have tall tops and will remain fresh throughout the winter when stored in wet sand. Introduced before 1824, this variety is a testament to enduring quality.

Plant in mid to late summer, spacing seeds 3-4 inches apart, and harvest around 60 days when they reach the size of a quarter for optimal tenderness.

Plant Black Spanish Round radish seeds in a cool season, ideally in March/April or August through October, in full sun.

Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, with about 25 seeds per 12 inches in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 6-12 plants per 12 inches. They prefer a soil pH of 6.0-6.8 and benefit from rich, loamy soil amended with composted manure.

Ensure consistent watering for quick growth. Harvest promptly when radishes are the size of large marbles for the best flavor and texture. Both the leaves and developing seedpods are also edible.
