Description
Radish 'Cherry Belle' (Raphanus sativus) is a iconic 1949 All-America Selections winning open-pollinated heirloom treasured for its uniform round shape, rapid growth, and crisp texture. Producing smooth, bright cherry-red globes reaching 1 inch in diameter, it features short green tops ideal for close garden spacing. The solid interior flesh is brilliant white, providing a sweet, mild, satisfying crunch that resists turning pithy even when mature. Exceptionally fast to grow, maturing in just 22 to 25 days, Cherry Belle is a cornerstone variety for early spring vegetable plots, autumn beds, succession planting, and patio containers.
