As the name suggests, garlic mustard is a type of mustard (from the cabbage family) characterized by the pungent taste of its leaves. In this case, you can clearly taste garlic and mustard in these unique leaves.
This evergreen and frost-resistant plant originates from Eastern Europe and grows up to 30 cm tall, blooming with (edible!) white flowers.
Give these plants slightly moist soil; they grow in both partial shade and full sun.
The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked and harvested almost all year round. They make a spicy addition to a salad. In winter, the leaves taste a little milder.
In early summer, when the plant begins to flower, the plants lose their leaves for about two months. Cutting off the flower stalks encourages the growth of new leaves.
