How to grow Radish 'Amethyst'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Amethyst is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so it will need protecting in periods of cold weather. Amethyst needs a loamy, clay and sandy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Growing Amethyst from seed

Aim to sow 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 13°C / 55°F.

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

Transplanting Amethyst

Amethyst is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
