White Mustard may be
easily confused with:
- Field Mustard
White mustard has a maple-like leaf. Field mustard has a smooth, clasping leaf.
- Tumble Mustard
Tumble mustard has a deeply cleft leaf, while white mustard's leaf is more like a maple leaf.
We started out as wildflowers from the bicycle trails of western Pennsylvania, but we've
grown!
