Important Notice: These seeds have been treated with a fungicide (Thiram). Do not consume the seeds or feed them to animals. Fungicide treatment is a requirement under AQIS regulations for certain seed varieties. This treatment does not affect the growth of your crops or pose a risk to beneficial insects like bees. We make every effort to source untreated seed stock whenever possible; however, availability in Australia is extremely limited.

Growing Instructions

• Radishes prefer loose, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Prepare your garden bed by adding compost and ensuring the soil is friable.
• Sow seeds directly into the garden, as radishes do not transplant well.
• Water regularly and thin plants to allow space for the roots to grow.
• Radishes mature quickly, so check daily to avoid overgrown, tough roots.
• Harvest promptly for the best flavour and texture.
