| Abstract | Description Garlic mustard produces a characteristic fragrance of garlic from all parts of the plant. Adult plants grow 2-48 inches (5-125 cm) high. Basal rosettes have dark green, kidney-shaped leaves that differ somewhat in shape from the sharplytoothed, triangular, alternate, petioled leaves on the stems. In Illinois, garlic mustard usually blooms in May. Numerous small white flowers, 0.25 inches (6-7 mm) across, are borne in a terminal raceme at the apex of the stem, and also at some leaf axils. Plants usually produce 1 flowering stem, but may have as many as 10 stems from a single root. Each flower is composed of 4 white petals that narrow abruptly at the base. Black seeds are produced in 1-4.7 inch (3-12 cm) long, narrow, linear capsules called siliques. |
