Select your preferred quantity before adding to cart. Weight-based packs are sold by weight; seed counts vary. This listing is for planting seeds, not live plants or harvested radishes.

Sowing

Plan a sowing approximately two months before your first expected fall frost, adjusting for local conditions. Choose loose, deeply prepared, fertile soil with good drainage. Sow approximately 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart, then thin seedlings to approximately 4–6 inches apart.

The supplied directions estimate emergence in about 7 days at approximately 60–70°F, but germination can vary. Keep the seedbed evenly moist. Hot weather can reduce root quality, so avoid relying on midsummer planting in hot climates.

Growing and Care

Maintain consistent soil moisture to support steady root development. Avoid both prolonged drying and waterlogged conditions. Compost can improve soil structure; feed according to soil needs rather than a fixed schedule. Remove competing weeds carefully around young plants.

Harvest and Storage

Check roots as they approach the expected harvest window and lift them while the flesh remains crisp and usable. Do not treat larger size as a guarantee of better flavor or texture. Trim foliage after harvesting and refrigerate roots under suitable conditions for fresh vegetables.

Kitchen Uses

Wash roots thoroughly before preparation. Use thin slices or grated radish in salads, or try roasting, sautéing, and pickling. Adjust quantities to suit the strong flavor. Do not eat the planting seeds supplied in the packet.
