Plant Care
Position: Full sun to partial shade in light, well-drained soil

Hardiness: Hardy annual in the UK – thrives in cooler conditions and suitable for early and late sowing

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist to prevent roots from becoming woody or overly spicy

Sowing: Sow directly outdoors from March to September in short rows or containers. Sow little and often for a continuous harvest

Harvesting: Ready to harvest in as little as 3–5 weeks. Pick when roots are young and tender for the best flavour

Hot Tips: Fast-growing and perfect for impatient gardeners! Sow between slower-growing crops to maximise space. Avoid letting radishes get too large, as they can become tough—regular harvesting keeps them at their best.

Pet Friendly: Yes
