Species Details

Wild Mignonette is an occasional native biennial or perennial of waste places, arable land and waysides. It has been recorded from throughout our county but is more common in the eastern parts probably due the increased frequency of waste land there. It was said to favour calcareous soils (Clapham 1969) but its current distribution does not support this.
