Grow Something Extraordinary with Purple Plum Radish Seeds
Bring vibrant color and dependable performance to your garden with Purple Plum Radish Seeds (Raphanus sativus)—a standout heirloom prized for its deep purple skin and crisp white interior. These 1.5-inch round radishes offer a beautiful contrast that brightens up salads, sandwiches, and harvest baskets alike. Their mild, pleasant flavor and quick 25–30 day maturity make them a rewarding addition to any cool-season planting.
Fast-Growing Cool-Season Crop
Purple Plum radishes thrive in early spring and late summer gardens. Sow seeds directly into well-prepared soil and enjoy harvests in less than a month. For a steady supply of fresh, colorful radishes, practice succession planting every two weeks throughout the season. They’re an excellent choice for both home gardeners and small-scale growers seeking reliable yields.
Mild Flavor That Lasts
Unlike many radish varieties that become hot or pithy over time, Purple Plum radishes maintain their crisp texture and mild sweetness, even when left in the soil a little longer. Enjoy them raw for a refreshing crunch or lightly roasted for a delicate, earthy flavor.
Easy to Grow from Seed
Perfect for beginners or experienced gardeners, these radishes germinate quickly and grow well in containers, raised beds, or traditional garden plots. Each packet includes simple sowing and care instructions, plus tips for saving seeds to extend your heirloom harvest year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are heirloom seeds?
What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
