Radish Seeds – Raphanus sativus Vegetable Plant

Radish is a fast-growing cool-season root vegetable grown for its crisp edible roots and leafy green tops. Plants develop a compact rosette of foliage above ground while forming round or elongated roots below the soil surface. This species is suitable for garden beds, raised beds, and containers. Radish performs best in cool temperatures with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture, making it ideal for quick harvest cycles in spring and fall.
