Brassica juncea (Indian Mustard)

40 (100)cm, Indian Mustard is a hardy semiperennial to perennial from NW India, W China to Burma and Iran, where it has been cultivated for centuries. The young tender leaves can be used raw as a spicy ingredient in salads, or cooked as a vegetable in soups and stews. Plants are host plants for caterpillars of several cabbage white butterflies (Pieris spp.) and also an excellent nectar source for adult butterflies and other insects. Brassica juncea is easily grown in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot. Under suitable conditions it will readily self-sow. V-VII.
