Radish Vegetable Seeds

About Radish Vegetable Seeds

Radish Vegetable Seeds grow in full sun, partial shade positions. Expect 3 to 4 inches at maturity. The figures below are the ones on the packets in this group; each product page carries the exact numbers for that variety.

When to plant

Plant in cool season. Sow directly where the plants are to grow; this variety does not transplant happily. Hardy in zones 3 to 10 — your local frost dates decide the exact week.

Where to plant

Choose a site in full sun, partial shade. Water needs are average once the plants are established. Free-draining soil matters more than rich soil; seed sown into ground that stays wet rots before it germinates. Allow 1/4 inch or 2 to 3 inches between plants so air can move between them. Plan for 3 to 4 inches of growth when you place them in a bed or border.

How to plant

Sow 1/2 inch deep, spaced 1/4 inch or 2 to 3 inches apart. Water gently to settle the soil, then keep the surface evenly moist until seedlings or shoots appear.

How to care

Keep watering average, at the base of the plant rather than over the leaves. Grown as an annual, so plan to sow again next season.
