Horseradish
Horseradish is a perennial flower originally from Europe, grown for its edible, spicy root. In the landscape, it is grown for its beautiful leaves.
Its large leaves grow on long, upright stems. They are quite attractive, with wavy, undulating edges.
Horseradish makes an excellent specimen plant or backdrop for other perennial flowers. It is very resilient and grows well in the Colorado Springs area if it receives enough moisture.
