How to grow Radish 'Red'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Red is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Red needs a loamy, clay and sandy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Growing Red from seed

Sow 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 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 Red about 28 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Red

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