Black mustard is an ancient annual herb valued for its spicy seeds and striking yellow flowers. Tall and fast-growing, it brings colour and productivity to the garden while serving multiple purposes.
The small, dark seeds are widely used in cooking, pickling, and spice blends. Traditionally, black mustard has also held a place in herbal medicine and remains an important crop in many food cultures.
In the garden or farm, black mustard can also be grown as a green manure crop. When dug back into the soil, it adds organic matter, helps suppress weeds, and naturally improves soil structure. Mustard roots release biofumigant compounds that can reduce soil-borne pests and diseases, leaving the soil in better condition for future crops.
Easy to grow in full sun and well-drained soils, black mustard matures quickly and also attracts pollinators when left to flower, making it a highly versatile and beneficial plant.
