| This plant in the mustard family produces yellow flowers in spring of its second year. The real show comes later, with masses of flat silvery seed pods, good for cutting and dried arrangements. Listed as a perennial, so far it behaves like a biennial in our garden, but self-seeds to provide an ongoing supply.

Sorry, no seedlings. I don't bother any more, a few pop up every year, and that's all I need. I have seed to trade, though, which may be just as good (you won't have flowers/pods until next year anyway). |
