  • Wasabi Japonica is a rare and very popular cooking plant. It is most famous for making the wasabi root, which is used in Japanese cooking. Growing your own is a pleasant thing to do that gives you fresh, authentic flavour that is much superior than most store-bought options. The heart-shaped, lush green leaves also make it seem lovely. It does nicely in gardens and containers that don't get a lot of sun.

  • Wasabi grows slowly and enjoys cool, wet weather, so it's a terrific plant for patient gardeners who want to try something new. You can eat the stems, leaves, and rhizome, which is what people like. This makes it useful for salads, pickles, and other food items in the kitchen.

    • Plant genus Eutrema

    Watering Keep the soil consistently moist while the crop is establishing and growing, especially during flowering, fruiting or rapid leafy growth. Water deeply at the base rather than little and often, allowing excess water to drain away. Plants in containers, grow bags or greenhouses may need daily checks during warm weather.

    Best Growing Conditions Grow in partial shade to gentle sun in acidic, well-drained ericaceous soil or compost, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.

    Top tip

    Keep growth moving steadily with consistent watering and regular picking or harvesting once produce reaches a usable size. It works particularly well in a containers setting; give it enough space and light to develop naturally rather than crowding it.
