  2. HABITAT IN THE U.S. Garlic mustard frequently occurs in moist, shaded soil of river floodplains, forests, roadsides, edges of woods and trails edges and forest openings.

  3. IT IS INVASIVE Garlic mustard was brought here from Europe in the 1860’s to be used for food and medicine. It comes out early in the spring, getting the jump on native plants, and shades them. The native plants have trouble getting enough sunlight to grow. It produces many seed, so the plants can spread far in just a few years.

  4. The description of THE Garlic Mustard Garlic mustard is a cool-season biennial herb that ranges from 12 to 48 inches in height as an adult flowering plant. Leaves and stems emit the distinctive odder of onion or garlic when crushed (particularly in spring and early summer), and help distinguish the plant from all other woodland mustard plants.

  5. Something to do to the garlic mustard To limit its spread, teams of people cut garlic mustard down or pull it up before the seeds form each years
