Wintercress (Barbarea vulgaris), also known as yellow rocket plant, is an herbaceous biennial plant in the mustard family. Native to Eurasia, it was introduced into North America and is now commonly found throughout the New England states. Barbarea vulgaris is a PERENNIAL growing to 0.4 m (1ft 4in).
Yellow rocket plant can be found in fields and along roadsides, especially those that are wet or boggy, along stream banks and amongst wetland hedges.
Leaves can be harvested as early as 15 days after sowing, when plants reach 7-10cm tall. Cut or pinch tips as needed.
Once introduced to North America, wintercress naturalized and has now become a noxious weed in some states, as it easily reseeds itself.
