Notes

'Radish, Red Stem' radish (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Radish, Red Stem') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. 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. Its bright red stems add color to the bed, and red flowers appear in spring, summer, and autumn.

Pairs well with Mojito cucumber, Teddy dill, and Santo cilantro.
