How to grow Radish 'Perfecto'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Perfecto is thought of as half hardy, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures. Planting Perfecto in loamy, clay and sandy soil with a ph of between 5.5 and 6.8 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Perfecto from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between Radish plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Perfecto

As Perfecto is half hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
