Notes
'Easter Egg II' radish (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Easter Egg II') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. Radishes are grown for their roots, which reach maturity in 30 days. That quick turnaround lets you sow again for repeat harvests.
Pairs well with Peione parsley, Galahad tomato, and Fanfare cucumber.
