Tansy mustard
Descurainia sophia
Tansy mustard is a weedy annual or perennial herb that grows readily in disturbed soils, roadsides, and dry open habitats with minimal attention. It prefers full sun to partial shade and tolerates a range of soil conditions, though it thrives in poor, well-drained soils. While rarely cultivated intentionally, it has historical medicinal and edible seed uses and attracts early-season pollinators.
