Notes

'Scarlet Globe' radish (Raphanus sativus 'Scarlet Globe') is a vegetable for food gardens 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 or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It has an erect habit and grows at a moderate rate. Bees and butterflies visit its blooms.

Pairs well with Carrot, Dill, Cilantro, and Garden strawberry.
