Last year I purchased a plant at a church plant sale, and the grower did not know the name of this plant. I have seen these plants in old neighborhoods in rural central Missouri. I believe it is a bi-annual, and the bloom is on a 24-30 inch spike. The leaves are alternate up the spike. flowers are in a cluster and have four pedals. Thank you
Heirloom flowers, I want to identify a blooming plant.?
Take a sample or a picture of it into your nearest plant nursery and have them identify it. They should have many different books on plants to help.
Good luck!
Reply:The Missouri Botanical Garden identified the plant from a photograph. It is "Dames Rocket", a garden plant brought from Europe in the 17th Century. They identified it as being in the cabbage family but it is probably in the Mustard Family.. Thanks. Report It
