Miyashige Daikon Radish Seeds – 100 White Japanese Radish Seeds for Planting
Miyashige Daikon is a classic Japanese white radish prized for its long, crisp, mild-flavored roots. This easy-to-grow variety produces uniform, cylindrical roots with tender white flesh that is sweet and refreshing, making it a favorite for fresh eating, pickling, and cooking. Daikon radishes are versatile garden vegetables that perform well in cool weather and can be grown as a fall or spring crop in many regions.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced gardener, Miyashige Daikon is a rewarding choice. The seeds germinate readily, and the plants grow quickly, providing a satisfying harvest. Use the roots in salads, stir-fries, soups, or traditional Japanese dishes like takuan pickles. The tops are also edible and can be used in stir-fries or as a nutritious green.

Planting & Care
Sow Miyashige Daikon seeds directly in the garden about 2–4 weeks before the last frost in spring, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Plant seeds ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart, thinning to 6–8 inches apart once seedlings are established. Daikon prefers loose, stone-free soil to allow straight root development. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when roots reach desired size, typically 2–3 inches in diameter, before they become woody.
