Horseradish is a perennial plant with deep taproots that becomes established in a permanent spot, where roots can be selectively harvested for fresh cooking at any time of year. Fall is the ideal harvest season, when spiciness and flavor are at their peak. This bundle of five live root divisions can be planted directly in the ground in early spring for establishment. The variety ‘Big Top’ is widely adaptable and selected for disease resistance and longevity. One taste of fresh cocktail sauce, spicy prime rib dressing, or zingy Bloody Mary seasoning, and you’ll quickly embrace homegrown horseradish and its tongue-tingling zest as part of your everyday culinary repertoire. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–8.

Horseradish rhizomes are shipped in March. Order early for best availability. Not available to Canada.
