Second-year plant, still modest in size and bloom

Third year: much taller and more prolific

Family brassicaceae Life cycle perennial (Z4-8) Flowers yellow (late spring) Size 2-4' Light full sun Cultural notes ordinary garden soil From seed germinates at room temperature detailed seed-starting info below Seed ripens late July 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.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: side garden, orchard nursery area

Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list
