Burpee only vends two daikon type radishes, the hybrid Summer Cross and the open pollinated Daikon Long. If your packet stated Daikon it is probably the latter. I only grow this type as a winter radish. They have a long season and they are not the most palatable in hot weather. Also like most brassicas they are programed to flower and seed on on increasing daylight. There are varieties which have been developed specifically to resist bolting but I have not tried them. The hybrids April Cross and New White Spring are examples of this type. You can save seeds of the hybrids, they will not be true, but odds are you will not notice an appreciable difference.
