Armoracia rusticana

Horseradish is a robust, low-maintenance perennial prized for its fiery roots and generous nature. Far superior to anything bought in the supermarket, freshly grown horseradish delivers real heat, aroma, and depth of flavour. Once established, it returns year after year with minimal care, making it one of the most rewarding perennial crops for the kitchen garden.

Our horseradish root cuttings are freshly lifted on the day of dispatch and sent unwashed to preserve freshness and vitality. Each cutting measures approximately 2–5 cm and is ready for planting. While horseradish is vigorous and can spread in open ground, growing it in deep pots makes harvesting far easier and keeps plants well contained.

Number of root clippings: 3

Grown to organic standards. We only grow true heritage varieties (no hybrids or GM material), using organic peat-free compost in our garden.

When you receive the clippings, place them in water for 24 hours before sowing.

  • When your horseradish root cuttings arrive, place them in water for 12–24 hours before planting to rehydrate and encourage strong establishment.

    Plant root cuttings in loose, fertile soil free from stones, or in large, deep pots filled with organic peat-free compost. Position each cutting at a slight angle, with the top just below soil level. Horseradish prefers sun or partial shade and benefits from occasional feeding, though it is largely undemanding.

    Leaves will emerge quickly, with roots developing steadily underground. Harvest from late autumn onwards, once foliage dies back. Any pieces left in the soil will regrow.

  • Who doesn’t love horseradish? Fresh horseradish is pungent, peppery, and fiery in all the right ways. Once lifted, scrub the root clean and freeze it whole - then grate straight from frozen, skin on, for maximum flavour.

    We love grating it into crème fraîche or yoghurt for a quick sauce, stirring it through mashed potatoes, or pairing it with roast beef, oily fish, or smoked mackerel. It’s also excellent in Bloody Marys, salad dressings, ferments, or classic homemade horseradish sauce.
