  
Shinrimei is a unique radish of Chinese origin. The ball-shaped radish, 4 inches in diameter, has deep green shoulder on white skin and bright red flesh and can be harvested in 60 days after sowing. Shinrimei (Shin-Ri-Mei, in Chinese) means "Beauty-In-The-Heart", to reflect the beautiful red flesh of this radish. This variety is also called Roseheart Radish or Watermelon Radish, in the West. Flesh is crispy with mild and sweet flavor, excellent for salad, garnish and cooking. This variety grows best in cool climates, suitable for fall/winter crops. Plants may go into early flowering and fail to form round radishes in warm weather conditions
