An old Italian variety dating back to 1918. Grows to a grand size for a radish, yet does not go woody like most radish do when they get larger. This means you can expect radish at least 5cm in diameter & each one will be crisp & juicy, with a crimson skin & sparkling white centre. Giant Butter has a nice, mild flavour, so is ideal to add to salads either sliced or grated. Perfect for those that dont like spicy radish. Make first sowings in March, in a warm, sheltered position, followed by others at regular intervals, to ensure a constant supply of firm, mildly flavoured roots during spring & summer. Sow March-September. Harvest late April-October.
