Radish "Purpura" F1

Violet radish "Purpura" F1 - Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus.
Very early purple radish hybrid variety for year-round cultivation (18-29 days from germination to maturity).
Due to its resistance to flowering, this hybrid variety can be sown from early spring, during the summer and until late autumn.
A root vegetable with purple skin and tender, snow-white flesh. The taste is great!

* The word "radish" comes from the Latin "redix", which means "root".
Where did the radish come from? Seems like she's always been there. But is it?
According to legend, the radish was brought by the traveller Marco Polo from China to Venice.
Gardeners in Italy, in the process of long-term selection, improved its taste, brought out new varieties of fruits of different colours, shapes and ripening dates.
From Italy, the radish spread throughout Europe, and at the beginning of the 18th century, it also came to Russia.
Popular rumour says that Peter the Great brought radish from Holland and ordered to grow it in the pharmacy garden in St. Petersburg ...
