Also known as Watermelon Radish or Chinese Red Heart. Misato Rose characterized by scarlet red flesh with a green/white skin, grown from late-summer planting (throughout August) for autumn harvest and storage for winter use.
The flavor and texture of ‘Misato Rose’ is sweet and turnip-like, with a mild radish finish. Spaced 4″ apart, these roots get 4-6″ in diameter, and make some serious winter food that is strikingly colorful and nutritious. Makes a fantastic ingredient for kim chi, is beautiful when shredded with cole slaw and carrot, or sliced and slivered into winter salads. Not suitable for spring planting. A beautiful radish!
