Horseradish Bareroot Crowns deliver fresh, live roots ideal for planting and growing in your home garden. Each 4Lbs pack is sold by weight, meaning you may receive one large root or several smaller ones, depending on the harvest. These roots can be divided into chunks for efficient planting, ensuring robust growth.

This product thrives in USDA hardiness zones 3-8. It requires full sun exposure and well-drained soil to grow effectively. Horseradish plants are known for their adaptability and vigorous growth, making them a valuable addition to any vegetable garden.

Planting is straightforward—bury the crowns in a sunny spot with loose, nutrient-rich soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Regularly check for weeds and provide moderate fertilization to enhance growth.

Caring for your horseradish is simple. Prune the foliage periodically to encourage root development. Harvesting is typically done in the late fall after frost has improved the root’s flavor. For long-term storage, roots can be left in the ground or preserved after harvest.

Adding horseradish to your garden not only enriches your vegetable collection but also provides a fresh, flavorful ingredient for homemade condiments and dishes. Its robust nature and ease of care make it a practical choice for both novice and seasoned gardeners.
