## Overview

The Real Wasabi Plant in a 12cm pot is a shade-tolerant perennial that thrives in partial shade and moderate watering. It survives temperatures as low as -5ºC with minimal winter protection. After about two years, it produces prized rhizomes for fresh wasabi paste, plus edible leaves and fragrant white flowers in spring. Perfect for millennial gardeners seeking unique, homegrown culinary experiences.

## Description

Grows large laves. These leaves will die back in winter as all the plants energy travels down into the rhizomes that will be forming at the base of the stems. These precious rhizomes are swollen stems, not roots, and they hold the vital goodness that will carry the plant through winter and see it re-grow with vigour the following spring.

## Features

- striking plant in a shady spot where other plants might struggle to gather enough light.
- Wasabi is a perrinial garden plant. Wasabi will survive temperatures down to –5ºC, to protect it from those really cold nights some straw or fleece covering the crown of the plant is a good idea.
- With Patience wasabiplant will reward you with harvesting and grating your own fresh wasabi paste that will be all the sweeter for the two years it can take to yield the famously pungent rhizomes.
- Edible leaves andflower stems - In March and April long stems holding a cluster of delicately scented white flowers will appear, these can be eaten raw or fried in tempura batter
