SUN: Horseradish plants can tolerate some shade, but their output won't be as good. Ideally, they should receive at least six hours of direct sunlight on most days.
SOIL: A loose, well-draining soil that's rich in organic matter will produce the best roots. In addition, horseradish likes slightly acidic to neutral soil pH.
WATER: Horseradish has moderate water needs. Too little water can result in woody roots with weak flavor. But too much water can cause soft roots with a very strong flavor. Around 1 to 2 inches of water per week is ideal.
WHEN TO PLANT: Plant them in the fall or early spring as soon as the soil has thawed. The roots need a long growing season to develop.
PLANTING SUGGESTIONS: Fertilize your horseradish at the time of planting and then roughly every four weeks.
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) is a clump-forming perennial plant that's categorized as both a vegetable and an herb. It's primarily grown for its pungent, yellow-white roots that are used to spice up a variety of dishes. The plant features long, shiny, toothed, dark green leaves, and it bears tiny, white, four-petal flowers on panicles in the summer. Horseradish is normally planted in the spring and will quickly grow for the roots to be ready to harvest by fall.
