Buy wasabi plants, Japanese citrus trees and other Asian plants

Have you ever wanted to grow your own fresh wasabi? You may be surprised to learn that the UK has ideal conditions for this - and it's not as hard as you think! A wasabi plant is ideal for occupying that shady spot in your garden where not much else will grow.

Did you know? Most Western 'wasabi' paste is actually a mixture of horseradish, mustard and green food colouring. Real wasabi paste is a Japanese delicacy that comes from wasabia japonica, or Japanese horseradish. Fresh wasabi root (actually a stem) has a complex flavour, sweet pungency and fresh taste compared with store-bought wasabi. The leaf stems, wasabi leaves and delicately scented white flowers are all delicious, too.

As well as wasabi plants, we stock Japanese citrus trees such as yuzu trees and Japanese bitter orange trees, sansho and Szechuan pepper trees, shiso and edamame bean plants and more. Our plants are limited to seasonal availability - if we don't have something in stock, you can sign up for email alerts on all product pages.
