This smooth, deep red radish variety boasts a classic crispy white interior and high disease resistance, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. With its quick maturation and easy-to-grow nature, Cherry Belle has become a staple in gardens since its introduction.
Cherry Belle radishes are perfect for adding a peppery crunch to salads, vegetable platters, and as a refreshing snack. Their small size, averaging 3/4″ in diameter, allows for dense planting in garden beds or containers. The bright red exterior and crisp white flesh not only provide a delightful contrast in appearance but also offer a mild, sweet flavor that doesn’t become pithy or woody, ensuring a consistently enjoyable harvest.
These radishes thrive in cool weather and can be planted in early spring or fall. They perform best in well-drained soil rich in organic matter, with full sun exposure. Cherry Belle radishes grow to a compact height of 8″, making them suitable for small gardens or container growing. With proper spacing of 6″ between plants, you can expect a bountiful harvest of these crisp, flavorful radishes.
Growing Success Tips:
- Sow seeds 1/2″ deep and 1″ apart, thinning to 2-3″ spacing later
- Maintain consistent soil moisture to prevent splitting and ensure even growth
- Plant every two weeks for a continuous harvest throughout the season
- Harvest when radishes reach 1″ in diameter for the best flavor and texture
Cherry Belle radishes offer an excellent return on investment for gardeners, providing quick results and versatile culinary uses. Their compact size and rapid growth make them perfect for succession planting, ensuring a steady supply of fresh radishes throughout the growing season.
For an extra crisp texture, try harvesting your Cherry Belle radishes in the cool morning hours.
