I'd like to grow horseradish but have never seen plants / seeds for

Any ideas where I might be able to get hold of one or the other?

If you have access to any fresh horseradish root, just cut a chunk and
bury. As others have posted, it is *extremely* invasive, so should be
confined in a pot. Mine grew a shoot through a side drain-hole, which
then took root in a pavement crack.

Now, I have just has an idea.

Just over the road from me, on the common. a large patch of Japanese
Knotweed has appeared.

If I planted some Horseradish in the middle of the infestation. Who
would win?

Rick....

Prolly combine into a new menace - Japanese Knotradish - and invade the
nation....

(yeah, I know this defies botanical science, but hey some of us like to get
our kicks from fantasising about new monster plants :-) )
