=== Spring or summer radishes === [[File:Remscheid Lüttringhausen - Bauernmarkt 18 ies.jpg|thumb|European radishes (''Raphanus sativus'')]] [[File:India - Koyambedu Market - Radishes 01 (3986302317).jpg|thumb|[[Daikon]] (or bai luobo)—a large East Asian white radish—for sale in India]] Sometimes referred to as European radishes or spring radishes if they are planted in cooler weather, summer radishes are generally small and have a relatively short three- to four-week cultivation time.<ref name="RHS" /> * The 'April Cross' is a giant white radish hybrid that [[Bolting (horticulture)|bolts]] very slowly. * 'Bunny Tail' is an heirloom variety from [[Italy]], where it is known as ''Rosso Tondo A Piccola Punta Bianca''. It is slightly oblong, mostly red, with a white tip. * 'Cherry Belle' is a bright red-skinned round variety with a white interior.<ref name="faust1996" /> It is familiar in North American supermarkets. * 'Champion' is round and red-skinned like the 'Cherry Belle', but with slightly larger roots, up to {{convert|5|cm|in|0|abbr=on}}, and a milder flavor.<ref name="faust1996" /> * 'Red King' has a mild flavor, with good resistance to club root, a problem that can arise from poor drainage.<ref name="faust1996" /> * 'Sicily Giant' is a large heirloom variety from [[Sicily]]. It can reach up to 5 cm (2 in) in diameter. * 'Snow Belle' is an all-white variety of radish, similar in shape to the 'Cherry Belle'.<ref name="faust1996" /> * 'White Icicle' or 'Icicle' is a white carrot-shaped variety, around {{convert|10|–|12|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} long, dating back to the 16th century. It slices easily and has better than average resistance to pithiness.<ref name="faust1996" /><ref name="peterson1999" /> * 'French Breakfast' is an elongated, red-skinned radish with a white splash at the root end. It is typically slightly milder than other summer varieties but is among the quickest to turn pithy.<ref name="peterson1999" /> * 'Plum Purple', a purple-[[fuchsia (color)|fuchsia]] radish, tends to stay crisp longer than average.<ref name="peterson1999" /> * 'Gala' and 'Roodbol' are two varieties popular in the Netherlands in a breakfast dish, thinly sliced on buttered bread.<ref name="faust1996" /> * 'Easter Egg' is not an actual variety, but a mix of varieties with different skin colors,<ref name="peterson1999" /> typically including white, pink, red, and purple radishes. Sold in markets or seed packets under the name, the seed mixes can extend harvesting duration from a single planting, as different varieties may mature at different times.<ref name="peterson1999" />
