"The Ferry-Morse radish icicle short top seeds look whimsical! I cannot wait to use these next year! I am not sure how they yield yet, but I will be sure to update this review but I'm very excited to use them as this is a trusted brand! "
"So excited to grow radishes! The Icicle Short Top is a beautiful variety that can be planted in a pot. The mild flavor is great! They aren't too spicy like other types can be. I would plant these again! Beautiful addition to any veggie platter or salad dish."
"This is good packaging but be careful because the package may rip. I’ve been growing these for a little bit now and there are doing great! I make sure to keep watering them"
"I had a very easy planting experience with these Ferry-Morse Radish Icicle Short Top seeds. I am in zone 6b. I did not have an issue with any seeds not germinating. I opted to plant them in containers verses our garden due to the crazy storms we’ve had this season. They thrived in the containers. I will definitely be planting these again and will be trying other Ferry-Morse seeds!"

"We had about a 50% germination rate and these were an excellent addition to our salads! The package came a bit crumpled up & I was concerned if the seeds would grow, but they did! Definitely will purchase more from this brand in the future."
"These radish icicle short top seeds by Ferry-Morse are delicious. They are easy to maintain and grow. In a month we went from seeds to fresh icicle radish in our salad. They have an earth taste with a zip at the end. I truly enjoyed them in my salad for flavor. Highly recommended if you like radishes"
"This was a great addition to my personal garden. Instructions on the package were easy to follow. It did not take long for the radishes to start growing. It had a great flavor and a wonderful bite."
"This product is so amazing! I grew within a couple of weeks and the plant is growing so beautifully. I kind of wish I got the flowers instead though!"
"We have a new favorite garden staple! These seeds were so easy to plant. We put them in large planters by the kids' playhouse, and growing the radishes was their project. After a couple weeks, we had great growth, and after a month, we had delicious icicle radishes! We will be planting these every year."
