Variegated radish

I found this today. Of the 100 or so seeds I threw out this is the only variegated one. I threw away the pack so I don’t know the variety but it is whatever the Dollar Tree was selling of the red radish.

I will let it go to seed and see what happens next year!

If the chimeric variegated tissue ends up in the floral parts there’s a chance some of the next generation will be albinos and die soon after germinating, some will be regular green and a small portion may actually inherit both the regular and albino tissue to be variegated.

Is that the case for the offspring that is variegated as well or does it stabilize?

This particular variegation is not prone to stabilizing through successive breeding.
