Winter salads need texture and colour. Roots do both. Grow the right varieties and you can build plates around crunch, sweetness, peppery bite, and visual surprise.
Radishes With Drama
Watermelon Radish, Round Black Spanish Radish, Wasabi Radish, and Mini Purple F1 Daikon all bring different colour and intensity.
Beets for Colour
Golden Beet, Avalanche Beet, Chioggia Beet, and Bulls Blood Beet give you gold, white, candy stripe, and red foliage.
Pale and Purple Carrots
Lunar White Carrot, Deep Purple F1 Carrot, and Yellow Moon Carrot expand the root palette.
