Described somewhere as the yellow cousin of dame's rocket. In its first year, I didn't see a strong resemblance, since it grew to only about 3 feet tall, had more leaves along its stalk, and didn't bloom as profusely. In its third year, I can start seeing how the comparison might be made - but only superficially. Not a sophisticated plant, but a nice wildflower type addition to the garden.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. One or more images of this plant are included in my stock photo catalog About my plant portraits
