Wild Radishes Florida betony (Stachys floridana), sometimes called hedge nettle (though it doesn’t seem nettle-y at all) is a member of the mint family—you can tell by its square stem. It has a pinkish purple flower with dots in the throat. Even Mary Francis Baker, the author of Florida Wild Flowers published in 1926, said it is edible. The edible part is a crispy, white, crinkly-shaped underground tuber. They’re like radishes without the hot taste, and can be eaten raw, out-of-hand or in a salad, or boiled for a short time in a little water. They also make a very good pickle. About the end of February, the new year’s underground tubers start to form…New tubers are at their best during March and April and are good through at least May. The tubers are within a couple of inches of the soil surface, and the plant can sometimes be pulled up with the tubers attached. Digging a little with your hand or trowel will assure a good collection of tubers.
