Fast, Crisp, and Classic Heirloom for Spring and Fall Gardens

Discover Radish ‘Cherry Belle’, an All-America Selections (AAS) Winner prized for its bright cherry-red skin, smooth round roots, and classic crispy white interior. Maturing in as little as 22–25 days, this heirloom radish has been a staple in home gardens since 1949, valued for its mild, sweet flavor and reliable performance. Its compact size and rapid growth make it perfect for beginner gardeners, container growing, and anyone seeking quick, satisfying harvests.

Cherry Belle is ideal for salads, snack trays, and garnishes, offering a refreshing crunch and vibrant color to any dish. The roots average 3/4″–1″ in diameter and maintain a tender, non-pithy texture even when grown quickly. With high disease resistance and tolerance to cool weather, this variety is easy to grow in both spring and fall. Its uniformity and attractive appearance make it a favorite for market growers and home gardeners alike. Cherry Belle radishes also thrive in containers and small spaces, making them a versatile choice for any garden setup.

This frost-tolerant annual prefers full sun to part shade and well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Direct sow seeds 1/2″ deep and 1″ apart in rows spaced 12″ apart as soon as the soil is workable in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Thin seedlings to 2″ apart for best root development. Maintain consistent moisture to ensure smooth, round roots and prevent splitting. Harvest radishes when they reach 1″ in diameter—waiting longer can lead to pithy or spicy roots. Succession sow every 1–2 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh radishes throughout the season.

Growing Success Tips:

• Sow seeds directly outdoors 4–6 weeks before last frost, and again in late summer for a fall crop.
• Thin seedlings to 2″ apart for optimal root size and shape.
• Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to prevent splitting and promote crisp texture.
• Harvest promptly at 1″ diameter for the sweetest, crunchiest radishes.

Radish ‘Cherry Belle’ delivers unbeatable speed, flavor, and ease of growth—making it a must-have for gardeners of all levels. Its adaptability, disease resistance, and quick turnaround ensure a steady supply of crisp, delicious radishes from early spring through fall.

For the crispiest texture, harvest Cherry Belle radishes in the cool morning hours and enjoy them fresh the same day.
