Another close-up shows how
seeds start forming almost immediately.
These seeds mature and get dispersed early in the
season. The new plants grow all year in a rosette form, gathering
energy in their roots to be able to shoot up their stalk early the
next spring (known as "bolting", which is a good term to
describe what they do and how fast they grow).

Garlic Mustard remains green and
photosynthesizes all winter! This gives it an enormous head start in
the spring over other plants. |
