'Raxe' radish (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Raxe') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It reaches 24 to 36 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide, so give it some room. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn.
