Fothergill's Radish Celesta F1 Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Raphanus sativus, a vigorous, high-yielding F1 hybrid globe radish.
• All-Weather Cracking Resistance: Specially bred to stand beautifully in the soil long after maturity without cracking, splitting open, or developing an unpleasantly spongy, hollow core.
• Downy Mildew Protection: Features built-in genetic resistance to downy mildew, making it the absolute finest choice for combating damp, wet, and humid British summer conditions.
• Uniform Brilliant Red Roots: Produces exceptionally uniform, perfectly round roots with a smooth, vibrant red skin and a crisp, solid white interior.
• Lightning-Fast Marker Crop: Widely celebrated as one of the easiest and fastest-growing vegetables available; use it as a smart "marker" crop by sowing it in the rows between slow-maturing parsnips, carrots, or onions.
• Vigorous & Adaptable Habit: Thrives across a wide range of soil types, performing effortlessly in traditional allotment rows, raised vegetable beds, or shallow patio containers.

Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds directly outdoors every two weeks from early spring to early autumn for a non-stop, reliable summer harvest. Sow in a finely prepared tilth 1.5cm deep, keeping rows spaced 15cm apart.
• Thin out the young seedlings early to a spacing of roughly 3–5cm to allow the spherical hybrid roots plenty of uncrowded room to swell uniformly.
• Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture. Consistent watering combined with Celesta's superior hybrid genetics ensures a sweet, crisp, and high-quality harvest every single time.
