Radish 'German Giant'

German Giant is an extra large radish with a mild flavor and deep red color. The roots are typically 3 inches in diameter, but they can grow larger while still retaining their crispness. This is a favorite variety of many savvy home gardeners.

Sowing Radish Seeds

Sow radish seeds outdoors in early spring or fall. Barely cover the seeds with soil. Thin to 2" apart. Keep soil consistently moist. Full sun to part shade.
