Radish - White Icicle The Radish White Icicle, 'Raphanus sativus', is an attractive snow white, 5" - 6" long, tapered radish with a mild flavor. It is easy to grow and is quite early for a summer radish. White Icicle can produce a crop when spring radishes won't. This mild flavored radish is great eaten fresh, in salads, or in sandwiches. The flower tops are edible and the green tops can also be used in salads. Plant in late spring. Successive planting every 10 days will prolong the radish harvest. Radishes prefer loose, light soil with a fair amount of organic material. Harvest when the radish is 5 inches long. Bigger radishes get pithy and hot. |
