Notes
'Alpine' radish (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Alpine') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It matures in 55 days, so you can sow it again for a steady harvest.
Pairs well with Parsley, Armenian cucumber, and Common Chamomile German chamomile.
