INTRODUCING RADISH SEEDS

Originating in Southeast Asia, radishes have been grown in gardens worldwide for many centuries. Prized for their easy cultivation and somewhat peppery flavor, these root vegetables are versatile in the kitchen. They’re eaten raw or pickled, sometimes cooked. Radishes grow well in USDA hardiness zones 2 to 10. Because of this, they are accessible to basically all gardeners. Rapid growth cycle and adaptability to cooler temperatures make radishes a stellar choice for spring and fall planting.

HOW TO PLANT RADISH SEEDS

Successful radish crops start with sowing. Do it directly in the garden or container, about half an inch deep and 1 inch apart. Make space in rows 6 inches apart. Radishes prefer cool conditions. Because of this, they are usually one of the first crops planted in early spring. Radish seed germination will start quite fast, between 5 to 10 days. Practice succession planting every two weeks to get a continuous supply. Radishes are excellent choices for container gardening due to their size and quick growth.

MAINTAINING RADISH PLANTS

Radish plants require little maintenance. They thrive with regular watering, which encourages rapid and uniform root development. Thin seedlings to about 2 inches apart to prevent overcrowding. Radishes are generally resistant to pests and diseases, which makes them amazing for beginners!

Survival Garden Seeds' radish seeds provide the satisfaction of growing a fast crop. Radishes add a fresh, crunchy element to meals and serve as a rewarding introduction to vegetable gardening, opening doors to new knowledge and growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
