This product has been treated with thiram. Thiram treated seeds are safe to plant and produce crop from. Do not consume the treated seeds.
Sow seeds direct into a garden bed or pot approximately 12mm deep. If you prefer, seeds can be sown into a drill and soil can be sprinkled lightly over the seeds (make sure you don't pack the soil down tight!). Keep the soil moist ensuring that it doesn't dry out. When sowing direct, ensure radish seeds are sown 3 to 5cm apart. If sprinkling seeds, thin sprouts so they are 3 to 5cm apart. Leave approximately 25 to 30cm between rows of French Breakfast Radish. Germination occurs within 5 to 14 days. Seeds can be sown in all seasons and in a range of temperatures, but for best results sow when the temperature is between 10 to 30°C in spring and autumn*. French Breakfast Radish reach full maturity after around 35 days.
