Dragon's Tail Radish - Organic
$4.49
Unit price per Originally from Asia, the Dragon's Tail radish is shaking up our habits in the vegetable garden: here, it's not the roots that count, but the long, fleshy pods that come from its flowering .
In a living garden , it stands out for its upright and branching habit , laden with purple to greenish pods that lengthen and twist like small dragon tails .
Planted in welcoming, well-drained soil , it accompanies the cycle of the seasons with remarkable consistency: first classic radish foliage , then an abundance of flowers and edible pods . It brings an original presence to the garden , offering the curious gardener another way to connect with the radish , which is simultaneously a leafy vegetable, a pod vegetable, and a bee-friendly plant .
The pinkish-white flowers , perched on long stems, attract pollinators, while the pods become both a spectacle and a harvest. An aesthetic, generous, and intriguing plant.
Allow 30 to 60 cm in diameter per plant. Very easy to grow, it thrives in full sun or partial shade .
