Also known as the Salmon Radish. A long radish with beautiful deep pink skin & a white tip at the base. Crisp & less pungent than the shorter forms. Thought to be a descendent of the long radishes once stored on the Tea Clippers returning from from China in the 19th Century. Long Scarlet was once extensively gown around London in its once thriving Market Gardens. Being a true Brit, this variety can lay claim to be one of the hardiest of all radishes.
