Lady Slipper Radish is an heirloom, open-pollinated variety distinguished by its long, cylindrical roots with bright rosy-red skin and a distinctive white tip, giving it an elegant and attractive appearance. It has a crisp, juicy texture and a mild flavor with a hint of sweetness and gentle pungency, making it an excellent choice for fresh salads, vegetable platters, and garnishes.
This fast-growing variety reaches maturity in 28–35 days from sowing. The plants produce uniform roots measuring approximately 8–12 cm (3–5 inches) in length and develop vigorous leafy tops that can also be enjoyed fresh. Lady Slipper is known for its good productivity and consistently high-quality roots, making it suitable for both home gardens and market growers.
Lady Slipper 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.
