Notes

'Black Spanish Round' radish (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Black Spanish Round') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It matures in about 60 days and grows from open-pollinated seed.

Pairs well with Armenian cucumber, Parsley, and Butternut squash.
