Radish - Warta - Juicy, crisp roots with strong resilience - Fresh Seeds

Warta radish (Raphanus sativus) is a distinctive, medium early semi-long variety valued for its even shape, rich colour, and excellent taste. It forms slim, cylindrical roots with deep scarlet red skin that fades into a neat white tip. The flesh is tender and crisp, without excessive heat, making it a great everyday choice for sandwiches, salads, and healthy snacks. It matures in about 25 days from sowing, so you can quickly enjoy a fresh spring harvest.

This variety is also appreciated for its nutritional value as a source of vitamin C, iron, and calcium, while remaining low in calories. Its attractive look adds colour to the plate, and it is popular with both beginners and experienced growers because it is easy to grow and consistently rewarding.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds 1-2 cm deep. This supports fast, even emergence and helps young plants root strongly.

Sowing time outdoors

Sow directly outdoors from March to May, then again in July. This allows two harvest periods, one in spring and one in autumn. For a steady supply of fresh roots, sow little and often every two weeks.

Sowing time under cover

Under cover, sow in March and April. This gives an earlier harvest, so you can enjoy fresh radishes at the start of the season.

Spacing

Keep 10-20 cm between rows and 2-3 cm between plants. With enough space, the roots develop well, staying firm, well sized, and uniform.

Harvest time

Harvest from April to June, and again from September to November, depending on when you sow. Good care and regular watering help produce juicy roots with a full, fresh flavour over a long period.

Growing guidance

Warta radish performs well both outdoors and under cover. It prefers a sunny position and fertile, free draining soil that stays lightly moist. Thanks to its short growing period, it works well as an early crop, a follow-on crop, or alongside other vegetables such as lettuce, onion, or carrot. It is resistant to becoming pithy and to cracking, which supports a high, even yield.
