Shrimp Cotail Plant

Have you ever wondered were horseradish comes from? Well, I love it, and this is one of my two pots of the stuff. I bought the organic root at the grocery, much less $$ than I would have paid online. My sister Donna grows this, and warned me that it's invasive if not corralled, so I've sunk a large shrubbery pot and drill extra drainage in the bottom. This grows wildly all season, and is harvested in the fall. I'll keep a piece of the root from the harvest, and replant right away. It over winters fine on the Cape, and creates a dependable anchor to this end of the garden.  Like everything else you grow, it takes so much stronger fresh!
