Radish 'Shunkyo Red'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Shunkyo Red is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. 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 Shunkyo Red likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.99 inches (2.54 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 Shunkyo Red about 28 days before your last frost date.

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