Radish Red Arrow Vegetable Seeds – Singapore
Red Arrow radish seed for growing colourful edible shoots, young leaves and microgreens in Singapore. Fast-growing and particularly valued for its attractive red to rosy stems, bright green leaves and distinctive spicy radish flavour.
Red Arrow is a variety of Raphanus sativus grown primarily for its colourful young growth rather than for conventional radish root production. It produces striking red to pinkish stems topped with green leaves, making it particularly popular for microgreens, edible shoots and young-leaf production.
Well suited to Singapore’s urban growing environment, Red Arrow can be grown in shallow trays as a microgreen or in containers and garden beds for young edible growth. Growing as a microgreen is particularly practical in Singapore because plants can be harvested quickly without needing to develop a mature root.

How to Grow Red Arrow Radish in Singapore
Red Arrow is particularly well suited to growing as a microgreen in Singapore. Its short growing cycle means the colourful young stems and leaves can be harvested before prolonged tropical heat becomes a significant issue.
- Prepare the tray.
Add approximately 3–4 cm of moist growing medium to a shallow tray. A fine seed-raising mix, soil or coir-based medium can be used. - Sow evenly.
Spread the Red Arrow seed evenly across the surface. Aim for good coverage while avoiding excessively thick piles of overlapping seed. - Moisten and cover.
Mist the seed and growing medium thoroughly, then cover or stack the tray during the initial germination period. - Maintain moisture.
Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Radish seed germinates rapidly under suitable warm conditions. - Introduce light.
Once the seedlings have emerged and are pushing upwards, remove the cover and provide adequate natural or artificial growing light. Good light helps develop strong seedlings and attractive colour. - Maintain airflow.
Provide good ventilation around the tray, particularly in Singapore’s humid conditions. Avoid continually wet foliage and standing water. - Harvest.
Red Arrow microgreens are generally ready approximately 6–10 days after sowing. Cut the stems cleanly just above the growing medium once the cotyledons have opened and the crop has developed good colour.
Flavour & Uses

Red Arrow microgreens and young shoots can be used fresh in salads, sandwiches, wraps and grain bowls or added as a garnish to finished dishes. Their pronounced radish flavour makes them useful wherever a fresh peppery character is wanted.
