Meet ‘Dragon’s Tail’, the breakout radish superstar for Summer 2017. Our exclusive version of Asian heirloom aerial radish is unlike any radish you have ever seen or tasted. One of a kind radish is grown, not for its roots, but for the long, slender, curving purple seedpods that grow in profusion above ground on breathtakingly pretty plants. Looking like lacy clouds that have alighted in the garden, 3-4 leafy plants first produce a serene cloud of pink and white wildflowers, followed by a glorious profusion of 3-6" purple and green pods. Delicious raw or cooked, the longer purple pods and shorter green pods are crisp and tender, with a more nuanced spicy accent than a typical radish, and with none of the harshness. Nutritious pods add bite and tang to stir-fry dishes, and Asian cuisine; scrumptious when pickled.
