Eutrema japonicum grows naturally along stream beds in mountain river valleys in Japan. It is green, has an extremely strong flavor.

It favours a moist, humus-rich soil and a semi-shaded location. It is very quick-growing and has a large attractively round kidney-shaped leaf resembling an Asarum and a smallish rather elegant white flower on a whiskery stem.
