Tumble mustard
Sisymbrium altissimum
Tumble mustard is a fast-growing annual or short-lived perennial weed that thrives in disturbed soils, roadsides, and open sunny areas with little care needed. It tolerates poor, dry soils and adapts readily to a wide range of conditions. While useful for erosion control in bare areas, it can spread aggressively so monitor carefully in garden settings.
