What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow long, crisp, and flavorful Daikon Radishes (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus) with these premium heirloom white radish seeds, also known as Korean radish seeds or Japanese daikon seeds. A cool-season favorite, Daikon produces large, uniform roots with a mild, refreshing taste and satisfying crunch. Widely used in Asian cuisine, this versatile vegetable is perfect for salads, soups, pickles, and kimchi, delivering both culinary and garden benefits.

Fast-Growing, Cool-Season Crop:
Daikon radishes mature in about 60 days, thriving in the cool temperatures of spring and fall. The long, white roots grow 12–18 inches deep, developing crisp, tender flesh ideal for slicing, fermenting, or long-term storage. Plant directly in loose, well-drained soil or raised beds with ample depth for strong root growth. For an ongoing harvest, sow successively every few weeks during cool weather.

Dual-Purpose Garden Value:
Beyond their kitchen appeal, daikon radishes are prized for their soil-building qualities. Their deep taproots naturally break up compacted soil, improve drainage, and add organic matter as they decompose. Many gardeners use Daikon as a cover crop or green manure to enhance soil structure and fertility for future plantings.

Easy to Grow & Beginner Friendly:
Daikon seeds germinate quickly and require minimal maintenance. Choose a sunny location with moderate watering and consistent moisture. Suitable for direct sowing outdoors or growing in large containers for those with limited space. With simple care, Daikon provides a rewarding harvest and lasting benefits to your garden’s health.

Why Gardeners Love Daikon Radish Seeds:

  • Produces long, crisp, white roots with a clean, mild flavor
  • Grows 12–18 inches deep; ready to harvest in about 60 days
  • Excellent for fresh eating, pickling, kimchi, or soups
  • Improves soil structure and serves as a natural cover crop
  • Easy to grow and productive in both spring and fall

How to Grow Daikon Radishes:

  • Sow seeds directly ½ inch deep in loosened, well-drained soil once the ground can be worked.
  • Space plants 4–6 inches apart to allow full root development.
  • Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged for best results.
  • Harvest in about 60 days or when roots reach desired size.

For cover cropping, allow plants to mature fully, then till them under to enrich the soil.
