Raphanus sativus (25-28 days to maturity) A nice round, red bunching radish originating in Germany. Stays crunchy and grows larger than other red-round types without becoming fibrous, so you can enjoy the harvest longer. Excellent market radish! Can be planted from spring to fall for season-long production. Firm, crisp, mild flavor... not too spicy! Also, great for raised beds or container gardening.
Growing NotesSow after danger of frost in early spring through late summer for a fall crop. Sow 1” apart (to avoid the need to thin), 1/2” deep in rows at least 6” apart; firm lightly and keep moist. Germinate in 4-6 days. Plants need about 1” of rain per week; if necessary, water early in the day.
