  1. garlic mustard

    Garlic mustard is a type of invasive plant species, scientifically known as Alliaria petiolata, originating from Europe. Known for its strong garlic-like smell when crushed, it is named for its key distinguishing features. It grows in shaded woodlands, hedgerows, and along the edges of forests. Despite being edible and even having medicinal properties, garlic mustard spreads aggressively and can become a problematic weed, displacing native plant species.

  1. Garlic mustard

    Garlic mustard is a biennial flowering plant in the Mustard family, Brassicaceae. It is native to Europe, western and central Asia, and northwestern Africa, from Morocco, Iberia and the British Isles, north to northern Scandinavia, and east to northern India and western China. In the first year of growth, plants form clumps of round shaped, slightly wrinkled leaves, that when crushed smell like garlic. The next year plants flower in spring, producing cross shaped white flowers in dense clusters. As the flowering stems bloom they elongate into a spike-like shape. When blooming is complete, plants produce upright fruits that release seeds in mid-summer. Plants are often found growing along the margins of hedgerows, giving rise to the old British folk name of Jack-by-the-hedge. Other common names include Garlic Root, Hedge Garlic, Sauce-alone, Jack-in-the-bush, Penny Hedge and Poor Man's Mustard. The genus name Alliaria, "resembling Allium", refers to the garlic-like odour of the crushed foliage. Some people give the species name Alliaria officinalis for this plant.
