Red King 2 (F1) Radish Seed
Smooth, brilliant red.
Mild, crisp, and juicy into late maturity (like KN-Bravo, but sweeter). Remarkably uniform. Tall, upright tops with red and green petioles. A beauty on display, especially when paired with purple and white daikons. Root size adaptable to plant spacing. Can produce radishes over 1 lb., 5–8" long x 2–2 1/2" wide. Slow bolting and good field-holding ability. For both spring and summer sowings.Specs:
CULTURE: Daikon and Korean radishes require friable, well-drained soils with a pH range of 5.8–6.8. Work soil deeply, in raised beds if possible, for straight roots and ease of harvest. Sow 10 seeds/ft., thinning to 4–6" apart, rows 18" apart. Note planting seasons in variety descriptions to reduce bolting.
HARVEST AND STORAGE: Daikon and Korean radishes are brittle; fork or undermine and lift roots carefully. Cut tops 2" above crowns, wash, and refrigerate. Can be stored at 32°F (0°C) and 95% relative humidity for 6–10 weeks.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATES: 1 oz./260', 3.9 oz./1,000', 5 1/4 lb./acre at 6 seeds/ft. in rows 24" apart, or 7 lb./acre in rows 18" apart.
SIZED SEEDS: All seeds are unsized.
