Armoracia consists of sturdy, upright perennials characterized by their taproots and either simple or pinnately lobed foliage. They produce small, white flowers with four petals, arranged in terminal panicles or racemes.

Armoracia

Armoracia rusticana is a robust perennial that can reach heights and widths of up to 60 cm. It features thick, white taproots that produce a strong aroma. The broad, glossy leaves reminiscent of dock plants will die back in winter, but new growth will emerge from the roots in spring. In early summer, clusters of small white flowers appear. The fleshy white root is typically harvested during the autumn and winter months and is commonly grated for use in horseradish sauce.
