Explore Our Horseradish Seeds Varieties

So here's the thing about horseradish — most people think there's just one kind. But there's actually a really cool range of varieties, and each one brings something a little different to your garden and your kitchen.

Our Common Horseradish is the classic go-to. It's the one your grandma probably grew, with broad crinkled leaves and thick, white roots that pack serious pungency. If you want that traditional, no-nonsense heat for homemade horseradish sauce, this is your variety. Then there's Bohemian Horseradish, which tends to have smoother leaves and a slightly milder bite — still plenty spicy, but a touch more nuanced. It's a great option if you're newer to growing horseradish and want something a bit more forgiving.

We also carry Big Top Western Horseradish, which is known for producing thicker, meatier roots. Perfect for anyone who wants bigger harvests without a ton of extra fuss. And for the heirloom lovers out there, Maliner Kren is a real gem — it's an old European variety that's been prized for generations for its intense flavor and vigorous growth. It's the kind of variety that makes your garden feel like it's got some real history to it.

Together, this lineup gives you options whether you're a first-timer or you've been growing horseradish for years. Mix and match, experiment, see what does best in your particular soil. That's half the fun, right?

Gardening Insights — Tips for Growing Horseradish at Home

Horseradish is genuinely one of the easier crops you can grow. But a few basics go a long way toward getting those big, flavorful roots you're after. Here's what you should know:

• Sunlight: Full sun is ideal — at least 6 hours a day. That said, horseradish can tolerate partial shade better than a lot of crops. It won't be as vigorous, but it'll still produce.
• Soil: Loose, well-draining soil is key. Heavy clay will give you stunted, forked roots (and trust me, those are a pain to clean). Mix in some compost or sand if your soil is on the dense side. A slightly acidic to neutral pH — somewhere around 6.0 to 7.5 — works great.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Horseradish doesn't like sitting in soggy ground. About an inch of water per week usually does the trick.
• Spacing: Give each plant about 18–24 inches of room. Horseradish spreads — like, a lot — so spacing helps you manage it and keeps things from getting out of hand.
• Harvesting: You'll want to wait until after the first frost in fall for the best flavor. The cold actually intensifies the heat in the roots. Dig carefully with a garden fork and pull the whole root. Pro tip: leave a few small root pieces in the ground and they'll come back next spring on their own.
• Container Gardening: Yep, totally doable — and honestly, growing in containers is smart because it keeps the plant from taking over your whole garden bed. Use a deep pot (at least 18 inches) so the roots have room to develop.
