Details
‘Mephisto Red' is a moderately spicy, green-leaved wasabi with reddish stems. This traditional Japanese plant is perfect for sushi and salads, as both the stalk and leaves can be used. Sometimes the red wasabi has a reddish hue to the leaves and has a sweeter taste than the green wasabi. Surprisingly easy to grow in the British climate; they love a damp, shady spot and can be grown in a pot or in the garden bed.
Please note herbaceous plants naturally die-back during the colder months. We always ensure plants have at least some growth during this time, however when buying during October through to March, the growth may be minimal and there may be blemishes from winter cold.
