Champion is a large Cherry Belle type radish. The bright-red roots of this vegetable average 1.5" in diameter with firm mild flesh. It grows large without getting pithy and holds well in storage. This variety is resistant to cold temperatures and is excellent for early or late plantings. It matures in just 25 days.
Radishes, in their early forms, come from the ancient civilizations of China, Greece, and Egypt; soon, surrounding nations also cultivated this vegetable. While the Oriental nations cultivated the large, elongated radishes, most of the more delicate round varieties such as Champion were developed by the Dutch and the French. Champion radishes won the prestigious AAS Award in 1957.
