HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Since Triton Purple are winter radishes, they should be planted about two months before the first expected fall frost. Plant the purple sprouting radish seeds in very rich, deeply worked up soil about 1/2" deep and 1" apart; later, thin the seedlings 4-6" apart. This variety can also be grown for sprouting.

Growing: Radishes do well with consistently moist soil and the addition of organic matter such as compost. Do not allow the soil to dry out, but also avoid overwatering as this can cause splitting.

Harvesting: These radish sprouts are ready to harvest after 3-5 days. The mature form of this radish can be harvested at any time, but will be most tender at a small size; they also store well for the winter.

Seed Saving: Radishes will cross pollinate with all other varieties of radish, and must be isolated by at least half a mile from other varieties to protect genetic purity. Allow the radish plant to fully mature and send up a flowering stalk; the pods will form and turn from green to brown. Pick the brown pods and allow them to dry for several days. Thresh out the purple daikon radish seeds by opening the pods by hand, or by applying pressure to crush them. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place for up to five years.

Review By Jbolin614

Surprised & Delighted

Triton radish are one of my core four microgreens. After some research and discovering Everwilde online I ordered a bag solely on reviews of quality and reputation of production. Ordering was simple. Delivery was quick. Product was incredible and delicious. What I was really impressed by was the brilliant and beautiful packaging and the sticker that detailed the seed origen and harvest date. I provide the full lifecycle of my microgreens to customers and this took that up a notch. Thank you. I will absolutely continue to purchase from EW.

DESCRIPTION

This variety was developed specifically to produce purple sprouts. Sprout stems are a colorful purplish-red and are the darkest color of the red sprouting radish varieties with muted red and green cotyledons.
Though Triton Purple was developed specifically for its distinctive purple sprouts, in its mature form it is a type of Japanese winter radish also known as a "daikon," which simply means "large root" in Japanese. Daikon radishes account for the largest percentage of any cultivated vegetable in Japan, and can be found in some form in nearly every meal of that country.
