Planting & Care

Sow China Rose Radish seeds directly in the garden about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep, spacing seeds 1 inch apart. Thin seedlings to 2-4 inches apart once they are a few inches tall to allow roots to develop properly. Radishes grow best in cool weather; plant in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged to prevent splitting. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvest roots when they reach desired size, typically 1-2 inches in diameter. For best flavor, harvest promptly as over-mature roots may become woody and overly spicy. Radishes can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
