Horseradish

This selection is grown for its pungent, thick white taproot, the source of the sharp, spicy condiment used worldwide, and is one of the easiest edible plants to establish, spreading vigorously once planted and produces large bold leaves that give the planting a striking textural presence in the edible garden.

• Thick, pungent white taproot is the source of traditional horseradish condiment, harvested in fall after frost
• Large, bold, dark green leaves provide strong textural contrast in the edible garden
• Extremely vigorous once established; spreads readily and is best planted in a contained bed
• White flower spikes appear in summer; root is toxic to pets
