Radish 'Hilds blue'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Hilds blue is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy, clay and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 6.8 as Hilds blue likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.47 inches (1.2 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Hilds blue about 28 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Hilds blue is a tender plant.
