Radish Seeds, Lutea Carrot
Description
(Raphanus sativus). First noted as early as 1770, these uniquely shaped old-time radishes disguise themselves as a carrot. As bright as a buttercup, these are the most brilliant yellow-skinned radishes we have ever seen. Once a widespread and popular crop in the Austro-Hungarian empire, these golden yellow beauties are now rare treasures. A culinary marvel, it has a soft mellow flavor when raw and pairs perfectly for pickling and fermenting into krauts and kimchis. In Hungary, they’re often simmered into stews like Lecsó, a tomato and pepper casserole spiced with paprika.

Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Lutea Carrot radishes prefer loose, fertile soil that allows their roots to develop straight and smooth. Regular, even watering helps prevent cracking and improves texture. Thin seedlings early to avoid crowding and promote optimal root growth for uniform harvests.
When to Grow
Direct sow Lutea Carrot radish seeds in early spring or late summer to early fall, as they thrive in cool, mild temperatures. Late summer sowings offer especially sweet, tender roots. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'
How to Sow and Plant
Prepare a weed-free, loosened seedbed. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart, with rows spaced about 12 inches apart. Water lightly after sowing, keeping the soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge.
How to Grow
Maintain consistent soil moisture without overwatering. Weed carefully to avoid disturbing shallow roots. Fertilize lightly if necessary, but avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers. Harvest promptly once roots reach maturity to preserve their crisp texture and mild flavor.
How to Save
- Allow select radish plants to bolt and set seed pods.
- Leave pods on the plant until they dry and turn brown.
- Harvest pods and place in a dry, ventilated space.
- Crush pods gently to separate seeds.
- Store dried seeds in a cool, dark location in a labeled envelope or jar.
