Our Most Popular Wasabi Varieties

Daruma

This bold and aromatic cultivar is a favorite among chefs for its strong flavor and high-quality rhizomes.

A milder variety with subtle complexity. Great for home growers or anyone new to wasabi cultivation.

Specialty Cultivars

We occasionally offer limited or seasonal varieties—perfect for collectors or adventurous gardeners.

About Our Tissue-Culture Plants

Tissue-cultured wasabi starts are grown in a controlled environment to ensure purity and consistency. They are disease-free and genetically stable, making them a top choice for serious growers or commercial projects.

How to Grow Wasabi Plants

Wasabi thrives in cool, shady, and humid environments. It prefers temperatures between 46°F and 70°F and grows best in rich, well-drained soil. You can grow it outdoors in shaded beds, near a stream, or indoors in containers or greenhouses.

Growing Tips:

  • Keep soil consistently moist, but avoid standing water.

  • Provide plenty of shade—wasabi doesn’t like direct sunlight.

  • Add organic matter or compost for rich, fertile soil.

  • Be patient—wasabi takes 18 to 24 months to mature fully.

Ordering your wasabi plants is easy. Choose your preferred variety—starter plants, specialty cultivars, or tissue culture—and add them to your cart. We offer fast shipping across the U.S., with free shipping on orders over $75. Each order includes a free wasabi growing guide.
