- Adult cherry belle radish plants grow between 2 and 3 feet tall with a 1- to 2-foot spread. They have rough, medium-green, leafy tops and produce light purple or white blossoms. The edible taproots are cherry-shaped with red skins and white inner flesh.
- Cherry belle radishes grow in the Mid-Atlantic and New England. They are easy-to-grow vegetables that thrive in nutrient-rich, moist soil and full sunlight. Gardeners plant cherry belle radish seeds in early spring. They mature quickly and are ready for harvest in around 22 days.
- Cherry belle radishes and greens are edible raw or cooked. The radishes work well pickled, according to the University of Illinois Extension, but the website indicates that the roots have a high water content and do not freeze well. Radish greens will last in the refrigerator for two to three days, while the radishes will last for around a week.
