FB-Red Rubby is a quick growing round radish with attractive scarlet red skin and crisp white flesh. Pungency is mild, which suits salad and garnish use, and the variety is an excellent heat tolerant - it holds root quality in warm conditions where most radish turns pithy. It grows equally well outdoors and under cover, and is harvestable in as little as 30 days.
