This variety produces vigorous plants with pretty white to pale purple flowers that develop into crisp, mildly spicy pods, often described as similar to a radish-flavored green bean. The pods can be harvested young and tender for fresh eating, stir-fries, pickling, or adding a peppery crunch to salads. Because the plants are both ornamental and productive, they fit well in vegetable gardens, raised beds, and edible landscaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso known as Rat's Tail radish, this easy-to-grow heirloom is a favorite among gardeners looking for something different. The plants are generally vigorous and can tolerate light frost, making them a useful cool-season crop. Whether you are an experienced grower or trying radishes for the first time, Singara Rat's Tail offers a rewarding harvest of unusual and tasty pods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeirloom radish variety grown for edible seed pods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces long, slender, crisp pods with a mild radish flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttractive white to pale purple flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePods are best harvested young and tender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell suited to fresh eating, stir-fries, and pickling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raphanus sativus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual vegetable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, branching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grown as an annual in most zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer to early fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–18 inches between plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Singara Rat's Tail radish seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, or start them indoors a few weeks earlier for transplanting. Plant seeds about 1\/4 to 1\/2 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow good air circulation and pod development. These plants prefer full sun but can tolerate some afternoon shade in hot climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly, especially during dry spells, to encourage tender pod growth. Harvest the pods when they are young and crisp, typically before they become tough or overly seedy. Regular picking promotes continued production. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. With minimal care, you can enjoy a unique and productive harvest of edible pods throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Singara Rat's Tail Radish seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795525337398,"sku":"FOLIA2-294","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7180201742_cmqx.jpg?v=1792671142","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/500-singara-rats-tail-radish-seeds-edible-pods-heirloom-garden-radish","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
