Cultivation method:
Sow seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile, slightly loose soil. Space seeds 1 to 1 inch apart in rows 8 to 12 inches apart. Cover seeds lightly with soil and water gently to keep soil moist until germination.
Easter Egg II radishes grow quickly, and regular harvesting will encourage continued growth. Be sure to water sparingly to prevent roots from becoming hard or hollow. For staggered production, sow at 10-15 day intervals.
With their vibrant colours and fresh, crunchy taste, Easter Egg II radishes are perfect for adding a touch of charm to your gardens, while also delighting your taste buds. A fun and delicious variety, not to be missed!
