Overall Taste Yield Ease	North Carolina, United States Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Attractive white roots with a spicy flavor that intensifies as the weather warms. Shoulders have a tendency to push out of the ground and turn green and roots can be sligthly pithy even when young and small.

Easy to grow and very pretty in a salad. Seemed more resistant to bugs and heat than the red radishes I grow. Early crop lasted several weeks.
