How to Plant Radish from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Spring Planting: Direct sow seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
  • Fall Planting: Plant seeds 6-8 weeks before the first frost.
  • Radishes grow best when daytime temperatures are cool.

Preparing for Planting

  1. Choose a sunny location with loose, fertile soil.
  2. Remove rocks and debris to prevent misshapen roots.
  3. Work organic compost into the soil for better moisture retention.

Sowing Seeds

  1. Plant seeds ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows 12 inches apart.
  2. Water lightly after sowing to ensure good soil contact.
  3. Germination occurs within 3-7 days, depending on temperature.

Thinning Seedlings

  • Once seedlings reach 2 inches tall, thin them to 2-3 inches apart.
  • Thinned seedlings can be used as microgreens.

Pro Tip

Radishes grow fast, so plant them in succession every 1–2 weeks for a continuous harvest. Keep the soil loose and well-drained to prevent misshapen roots, and don’t let them sit too long—harvest when they’re young for the best crunch and flavor.

Bonus: The greens are edible too!

Our Seed Safety Promise

We do not sell genetically modified seeds — ever. And we don’t use genetic engineering to breed new varieties. Instead, our skilled breeders use traditional, natural crossing methods to create hybrid seeds that are healthy, safe, and packed with potential.

Our Seed Quality Guarantee

At Shido, we believe great gardens start with great seeds — and that means quality comes first. Every seed lot we offer is ensure to generate top-notch germination because your garden deserves nothing less.

To keep our seeds at their peak, we run thorough pathology tests at trusted outside labs. When you open a Shido seed packet, you can trust it’s been nurtured, tested, and approved to give you strong, healthy plants from the very first sprout.

Types of Seeds We Offer

Hybrid Seeds (F1)

F1 hybrid seeds are the garden’s high achievers — created by crossing two specially chosen parent plants for superior vigor, uniformity, and performance. We use only traditional breeding methods to produce these powerhouse seeds.

Open-Pollinated & Heirloom Seeds

Our open-pollinated (OP) seeds naturally reproduce through wind, insects, water, or self-pollination. When grown in isolation, they produce true-to-type plants year after year.

Among our OP seeds are treasured heirloom varieties — old favorites that have been carefully passed down for generations. While OP plants can be less uniform than hybrids, we run our Open-Pollinated Project to select the most reliable, flavorful, and beautiful strains. Many are also available as certified organic seeds.

Non-GMO: What It Means and Why It Matters

GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is created when scientists alter a plant’s DNA in a lab — often by inserting genes from completely unrelated species — to achieve certain traits, like pest resistance or herbicide tolerance. This is a far cry from natural plant breeding.

At Shido, we believe gardening should stay as close to nature as possible. All our seeds — whether hybrid, heirloom, organic, or open-pollinated — are Non-GMO. They’re bred using traditional methods that respect natural biodiversity, giving you safe, wholesome seeds that grow into plants just as nature intended.

When you plant Shido Non-GMO seeds, you’re choosing purity, sustainability, and peace of mind — along with a garden full of flavor, color, and beauty.
