About this Variety

Fun Fact: Horseradish is both known as a vegetable and a herb which is unusual. It’s not grown for its ornamental purposes but for its edible roots which jazz up many different popular dishes. In the US they are planted in the spring and the roots are harvested in the fall. They grow quickly, but do need a long growing season, so plant them early. They are started from small root pieces, also known as sets. They can even be grown in large deep containers.
