Notes
'Donato' radish (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Donato') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. Radishes reach maturity in 21 days, so you can sow again for steady harvests.
Pairs well with Saladin cucumber, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Fern Leaf dill.
