Hedge mustard is a hardy, easy-to-grow plant that thrives in disturbed soils, roadsides, and garden borders with minimal attention. It prefers full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil types. Water occasionally and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings; this plant largely cares for itself once established.
