Into the field we go to identify and harvest dame’s rocket flowers! Learn all about this wild edible of the Brassicaceae family; a tasty, handsome, feral cousin of our familiar mustard family vegetables: kale, broccoli, arugula, cabbage, etc. Dame’s Rocket is scientifically called Hesperis matronalis which translates to: “Lady of the night”, referring to its subtle alluring aroma it releases as the night descends. Habitat Look for it in gardens, edge of woods, roadsides, moist bottomlands in full sun to part shade. Grows in most soil types w/ good drainage and adequate moisture. Hardiness Zones (USDA): 4–9. Can become weedy / invasive, so good to keep it in check as your needs and environs dictate. Culinary Uses ● Sprout, seedling, small tender new leaf, and flower: raw in salad or lightly cooked. ● Larger basal leaf: cooked in soup, sauté, omelet, frittata. ● Flower: raw in butter, dessert, as general garnish. ● Seed: sprouted; seed extracted for edible oil. Qualities: ● Leaf: strong chlorophyll taste; rich green, slightly bitter and sweet; raw leaf tastes like raw kale. ● Flowers: sweet, beautiful. Biography & Habitat Native of Europe. Now grows throughout North America. USDA hardiness zone 4-9. Found in parts of South America, Asia, Middle East and New Zealand. Identification ● Dimensions 2-3ft tall by 2-3ft wide. ● Basal leaves have stalks (petioles); margins not very toothed; shape ovate to lanceolate. ● Aerial leaves: alternate leaf arrangement; toothed margin, narrower than basal leaf; sessile (stalkless); shape lanceolate. ● Leaf surface: top of leaf pubescent with simple hairs, underside mostly branched hairs (no need to magnify this). ● Stalks are fuzzy, hairy. ● Flower: color range from white to purple; 4 petals in the shape of a cross or “H” typical of the brassicaceae family, flower size about 2 inches; petal size about 1 inch. ● Stamens: 4 long and 2 short (but no need to magnify) ● Seed pod: silique about 2-4 inches long.  Many folks mistake this for phlox; but phlox has five petals and opposite leaves, unlike dame’s rocket that has four petals and alternate leaves. Harvest Early spring: seedlings, basal leaves. Mid spring to late spring: basal leaves & flowering tops. Mid summer: seeds. Mid summer thru fall: basal leaves.
