Radish German Giant gives gardeners the fun of growing truly large radishes without sacrificing mild flavor or crisp texture. Roots can range from golf-ball size to baseball size and remain tender longer than many standard radishes when harvested at the preferred size. This heirloom, open-pollinated variety matures in about 30 days and is excellent for fresh salads, pickling, roasting, crudités, and cool-season succession planting.

Why Choose German Giant Radish Seeds?

• Extra-large roots: Grow radishes from golf-ball to baseball size for substantial slices, wedges, and impressive vegetable platters.

Planting Tips for Success

• Choose the season: Direct-sow as soon as soil can be worked in spring, or sow 6–8 weeks before the first fall frost for a cool-season harvest.
• Prepare the soil: Use loose, well-drained soil free of rocks and hard clods so roots can develop smoothly and evenly.
• Sow directly: Plant seeds about ½ inch deep. Avoid transplanting, since root disturbance can affect shape and growth.
• Space for size: Sow about 2 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart, then thin established seedlings to about 4–6 inches so roots have room to size up.
• Water consistently: Keep the soil evenly moist. Irregular watering can contribute to cracking, rough texture, or pithiness.
• Succession sow: Plant small batches every 2–3 weeks during the cool season for a more continuous harvest.
• Harvest by size: Pull roots at golf-ball size for a tender snack, or let them size up toward baseball size while checking regularly for the texture you prefer.
