What to Do With Blooms on Horseradish Plant?

• Horseradish plants grow to nearly 4 feet tall, with rosette-shaped sections of broad leaves. Attractive but not showy, they should be kept to the north of a garden so they don't block sunshine from other garden plants. In most areas of the United States, horseradish is sterile; it doesn't produce flowers or seed pods.
  
  However, when the plant does produce flowers, they bloom in clusters of small, white blossoms. In some cultivars, the blossoms are very fragrant. There is no reason to encourage the blooms, because they are insignificant and not showy. If you are growing the horseradish for the flavorful root, it makes sense to remove the blooms so that the plant will not divert any of its energy to seed-production. If you wish to propagate new horseradish plants, it is much easier to do so from root divisions than from seeds. However, horseradish plants do develop seed pods in some warmer climates; it would be possible to dry these pods and save the seeds, if desired.
  
  While small and insignificant, the white, airy clusters of blossoms are suitable filler material for informal bouquets. Cut the blooms in the early morning for the freshest, longest-lasting cut flowers.
  
  Finally, if you have trouble with horseradish becoming invasive in your garden, you should remove the blossoms before they can form seed pods. Horseradish roots alone will spread and can take over an area of the garden: Prevent the blossoms from contributing to the problem when the seed pods ripen and burst, spreading seed across the garden and yard.
