Turritis glabra

Growth CharacteristicsThis is a biennial plant belonging to the Brassica family, typically growing to a height of 30–90 cm. The leaves are lance-shaped, and both the stems and leaves are grayish-green. Flowers bloom around May or June and feature small, cross-shaped yellow or white blossoms. It is widely distributed primarily in Europe and Northern Asia and thrives in sunny locations.

Propagation MethodsIt is primarily propagated by seeds. Seeds are formed after the flowers have withered, and it is common practice to collect them in the autumn and sow them in the spring.

Cultivation MethodsIt prefers well-drained soil and grows well in alkaline or neutral soils. It is suitable for locations with plenty of sunlight and is relatively tolerant of dry environments. While a small amount of water is required until the seeds sprout, it is advisable to avoid excessive watering thereafter. Use in the Garden
It is highly popular as an ornamental plant in the garden due to its aesthetic leaves and flowers. As a tall plant, it harmonizes well with other plants when placed at the back of the garden. It also fits well in dry areas or naturalistic gardens.

Important Pests and Control Methods
Although it is a relatively pest-resistant plant, it can contract root rot due to poor drainage. To prevent this, it is important to plant it in a location with good drainage. Additionally, pests such as aphids may occur; these should be detected and removed in a timely manner, or organic pesticides can be used if necessary.
