Notes
'Radish, Hong Vit' radish (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Radish, Hong Vit') is a vegetable for the food garden, borders, and containers. 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. It is grown for its spicy flavor. The purple stems and green leaves add color to the bed.
Pairs well with Moss Curled parsley, Long Island Mammoth dill, and Itachi cucumber.
