Notes
'Pepito' radish (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Pepito') 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. Pepito is an F1 hybrid that is ready to harvest in 21 days.
Pairs well with Long Island Mammoth dill, Santo cilantro, and Parisian Gherkin F1 cucumber.
