Purple Plum Radish is an heirloom, open-pollinated variety distinguished by its attractive round roots with vibrant purple skin and crisp white flesh. It combines a unique appearance with a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a gentle radish bite, making it an excellent choice for fresh salads, vegetable platters, and garnishes.
This fast-growing variety reaches maturity in 25–30 days from sowing. The plants produce uniform roots measuring approximately 3–5 cm (1.2–2 inches) in diameter and develop vigorous leafy tops that can also be enjoyed fresh. Purple Plum is known for producing a consistent, high-quality harvest while maintaining its crisp texture when harvested at the proper stage.
Purple Plum is well suited for cultivation in the Gulf countries during the growing season from October through March. Successive sowings every two to three weeks will provide a continuous harvest throughout the season. It performs best in loose, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and should be grown in a location that receives full sun.
