Latin name: Alliaria petiolata
Size: The stems grow up to 1m high.
Distribution: Found throughout most of the UK.
Flowering months: April to June.
Habitat: Found in hedgerows and at woodland edges.
Special features: Garlic mustard, sometimes called 'hedge garlic' or 'Jack-by-the-hedge' as it is sometimes called, is actually a member of the wild cabbage family of plants. It has large leaves, which when pinched give off a strong smell of garlic, hence the name. After flowering the seed pods appear, which are shaped like miniature runner beans.
