The seed is best planted immediately in moist soil and will germinate next spring.  The seed must not get completely dry, and requires a period of cold to germinate.  For more details on germination and cultivation seehttp://cru.cahe.wsu.edu/CEPublications/pnw0605/pnw0605.pdf

Please note: this is seed grown wasabi, not one of the named cultivars (E.g. daruma) which must be propagated by division or tissue culture.
