Easter Egg Radish (Raphanus sativus) is a fast-growing cool-season root vegetable grown for its round, crisp roots in a mix of red, pink, purple and white — like a basket of Easter eggs.

Growing Instructions

• When to Plant: Direct sow in early spring as soon as soil can be worked, and again in late summer for fall crops; avoid hot weather
• Soil: Loose, well-drained soil; remove stones so roots form straight
• Sunlight: Full sun; light shade in warm weather
• Watering: Keep consistently moist — dry spells cause splitting and pithy roots

• Tips: They bolt and get pithy in heat — plant in cool weather; the thinnings make tasty microgreens
