This is true Japanese Wasabi (Wasabia japonica)—the real deal, not the imitation paste. Both the leaves and roots of this highly sought-after plant deliver a clean, spicy kick that’s prized by chefs and home growers alike.
The rhizome (root) is traditionally grated fresh to create the iconic hot and spicy condiment loved around the world. Meanwhile, the leaves and stems can be harvested earlier and enjoyed fresh in salads, adding a peppery zing to your dishes.
The Mr Fothergill's Wasabi Rhizome is best planted in Spring and Summer.
Bring bold, authentic flavour to your homegrown harvests with our premium Wasabi Rhizomes. Grown in optimal conditions and ready for planting, these rare gems are perfect for gardeners looking to elevate their edible garden with something truly special.

Key Benefits:
-
✅ Authentic Japanese flavour – Delivers the fresh, pungent heat you simply can’t get from imitation wasabi pastes.
-
✅ Loves cool, shady spots – Thrives in moist, well-drained soil with protection from harsh sunlight.
-
✅ Multi-season performer – Rhizomes take 18–24 months to mature, but the leaves and stems are edible much earlier.
