Notes
'Red King 2' radish (Raphanus raphanistrum 'Red King 2') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. 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 ready to harvest in 53 days, so you can sow it again for a steady supply.
Pairs well with Quirk cucumber, Moss Curled parsley, and Long Island Mammoth dill.
