White mustard
Sinapis alba
White mustard is a fast-growing annual herb that does best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and regular watering during the growing season. It is widely grown as a culinary herb, cover crop, and green manure, and its seeds are the source of classic yellow mustard condiment. Direct-sow seeds in spring or autumn and harvest leaves young for salads or allow plants to set seed for mustard production.
