Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

The Zlata radish grows best in well-drained, light soil that is loamy, clay, or sandy, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH of 5.5 to 6.8. It thrives in full sun but requires moderate watering to keep the soil consistently moist, which helps prevent bolting and ensures the radishes remain tender and flavorful​.

When to Grow

Zlata radishes can be sown from early spring to late summer. They grow best in cooler temperatures, ideally between 50 F and 75 F. In regions with mild winters, they can be planted in early fall as well. It is recommended to start sowing seeds about 4 weeks before the last frost date in spring.

How to Sow and Plant

Directly sow Zlata radish seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 2 inches apart. Rows should be spaced about 12 inches apart to provide enough room for growth. For continuous harvests, sow seeds every two weeks. This radish variety is relatively resistant to splitting and bolting, making it suitable for various planting conditions​.

How to Grow

Maintain even moisture by watering regularly, especially during dry spells, to prevent the radishes from becoming woody or developing a bitter taste. Zlata radishes typically mature within 30 days, making them quite a quick and easy crop for gardeners. This variety also does well when used as a "catch crop" between slower-growing vegetables​.

How to Save

  • Radishes are insect-pollinated, so you’ll need to isolate varieties by up to 1/2 mile or stagger plantings to avoid flowering at the same time.
  • Staggering can be easy because of the radish’s quick maturity.
  • Allow flower stalks to shoot up and seed pods to dry on the plant before picking pods and opening by hand to remove the seeds.
  • Seeds will remain viable for up to 5 years when stored in an airtight container.
