    Native to Japan and usually found near or in mountain streams, but cultivated since the 10th century. A slow-growing perennial with large, handsome, heart-shaped leaves on 12-24" stems and a thickened rhizome that can be turned into the tasty and healthful wasabi powder. Blooms in late winter to early spring with small, white flowers on stems above the foliage. Prefers light to full shade in cool conditions -- moist, even boggy soil or water gardens. Frost hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8.
