Radish Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

The fast, crisp, peppery root worth a spot in your garden

Radishes (Raphanus sativus) are the quickest reward in the vegetable garden, often ready to pull within a month of sowing. Their crunchy roots carry a clean, peppery bite that ranges from mild to fiery, and heirloom types come in a rainbow of shapes and colors: round scarlet Cherry Belle, elegant French Breakfast, pink-and-green watermelon radishes, and long white daikon. Fast, forgiving, and endlessly fun to grow, radishes are the classic first crop for new gardeners and impatient kids alike.

How to grow radishes from seed

Radishes could not be easier to direct-sow. Plant radish seeds about half an inch deep in loose, well-drained soil in full sun, spacing them an inch apart, and keep the bed evenly moist. Seedlings appear in 3 to 7 days, and spring types are ready to pull in just 22 to 30 days, while larger winter and daikon radishes take longer. Sow small batches every couple of weeks for a steady supply, and harvest promptly before the roots turn woody. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing radishes from seed.

How to use radishes

Radishes are at their best crisp and fresh. Slice them thin over salads and tacos, serve them whole with butter and salt in the classic French style, or shave them into slaws for crunch and color. Milder daikon and watermelon types can be roasted, pickled, or grated into Asian dishes, and even the peppery young leaves are edible in salads and stir-fries. Radishes bring instant crunch, color, and bite to the plate.

Radishes and their root-vegetable cousins

If you love growing radishes, try their fellow roots. Sow turnips for a mild, sweet cousin in the same brassica family, carrots for sweet, crunchy roots, or beets for earthy roots and edible greens. Explore the full range in our vegetable seeds collection.
