German heirloom radish with gorgeous dark pink roots that are long and tapered, growing 15-22cm (6-8"). Ostergruss Rosa 2 has a sweet and mildly spicy flavour and a nice crisp texture that is wonderful in salads. The bright white interior may have streaks of pink. Best grown in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall, Ostergruss Rosa will perform well in the summer and can be grown with protection at either end of the season for stunning bunches most months of the year.

| Starting |
Sow seeds 5mm (¼”) deep, 25 seeds per 30cm (12″) in rows spaced 30-45cm (12-18″) apart, and thin to 6-12 plants per 30cm (12″). |
| Growing |
Ideal pH: 6.0-6.8. Radishes are moderate to heavy feeders. Best in rich, loamy soil amended with composted manure. Add 1 cup of complete organic fertilizer for every 3m (10′) of row for background fertility. Lime beds the previous fall. The real secret to growing this little vegetable is speed. Sow a short row frequently, thin them quickly, keep them watered, eat them quickly, and sow some more. |
