Radish 'Gentle Giant'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Gentle Giant is thought of as half hardy, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage. 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 Gentle Giant likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Sow 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 0.99 inches (2.54 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

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

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Gentle Giant is a half hardy plant.
