Sowing & Growing Instructions

Sowing Indoors (Under Glass):

• When: Late January to March.

• Method: Sow in modular trays or directly into greenhouse borders for an early spring pop of purple. Maintain a temperature of 15–20°C for quick, reliable germination.

Sowing Outdoors:

• When: March to September.

• Method: Sow thinly in shallow drills 1.5cm deep, with 15–30cm between rows. Radishes do not enjoy being transplanted, so sow them directly where you intend to pick them.

Top Tip: To keep the roots mild and crunchy, harvest as soon as they reach roughly the size of a large marble. Sow small batches every two weeks for a continuous supply of these striking bi-color gems.
