Reviews

Depending on the time of year, jack-by-the-hedge herb may taste more of garlic or cress - it's called garlic mustard for a reason! The unpeeled roots on the other hand are very similar to horse-radish, if they are allowed to grow in a nutrient-rich medium.
Package with 200 garlic mustard seeds

For stratification, mix the jack-by-the-hedge seeds with damp sand in a plastic bag. The sowing must be kept warm and moist for about 3 days (about 20°C / 64 to 72°F).
