Description

The winter radish of bold flavor and color. ‘Black Spanish’ produces large, round roots with jet-black skin and crisp white flesh. The flavor is sharp and spicy when young, mellowing into earthy sweetness after storage.

Roots reach 3–4 inches across and store exceptionally well through winter. The tops are strong and upright, making harvest easy.

An ancient European heirloom grown since the 1500s, this radish offers both striking appearance and robust flavor—a timeless root for fall and winter tables.
