Notes
'Pearl' radish (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Pearl') 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. It matures in 28 days, so you can sow it again for a steady crop. White flowers appear if the plant is left to grow.
Pairs well with Liberty cucumber, Santo cilantro, and Long Island Mammoth dill.
