General Information
Daikon radish blossoms are white and with a tinge of purple and have a cluster of six yellow stamens in the center. They are composed of four petals and measure 2-3 cm across. The blossoms appear after the root reaches maturity in the warmer temperatures of late spring and summer. Daikon radish blossoms have the same peppery bite as the root but are far milder with a honeyed finish.
History
Daikon radish most likely evolved from a wild radish species that is native to China. Daikon radish is a cool weather crop that thrives during late winter and early spring. They will grow in most soil types, even those of poor quality, and may require some irrigation in dry climates.
