Card description
He puts the rad in radish.

Strategies
Rescue Radish, like its name, can be used to save a valuable plant from death by bouncing it back into the players hand. It can also be used to bounce a plant with the "When played" effect so that the player can replay the effect. When using Rescue Radish to defend a lane, the player is forced to bounce another plant. Keep this in mind when playing Rescue Radish, as you could be forced to bounce a plant with high stats, resetting them.

Against Rescue Radish
Rescue Radish can be difficult to destroy early on as it has 3/4. Though, when it is played, the player is forced to bounce another plant back into the deck. This makes the Rescue Radish powerful early-game and late-game. A cheap zombie that has high offense, such as Cuckoo Zombie can easily destroy Rescue Radish, while avoiding a small amount of damage.

Trivia

 * Its card description references "rad," an old slang word from around the 80s or 90s, meaning "cool" or "wonderful."
 * Rescue Radish, White Radish, and Mischief Radish are only plants based on the radish.
