Famous for its spicy roots, it has a hot biting taste with a hint of sweetness. The plant is a hardy perennial herb that will grow rampantly under most condition except full shade and in wet ground. It is best controlled by growing in a container. Roots will keep in the ground throughout winter and can be harvested as required. They are an excellent source of sulfur. Young leaves can also be eaten raw or cooked, they have a strong flavour so are best used in moderation.
Other Names: Cochlearia armoracia

I planted this in an area with hydrophobic soil in strong sun and no matter how much I watered nothing seemed to help. It struggled on for a year or so but then gave up the ghost.
