Notes

'Cincinnati Market Radish' (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Cincinnati Market Radish') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. 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 or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, which draws butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Tomato, Nasturtium, and Buttercrunch lettuce.
