Basic Information

Lepidium draba

Heart-pod Hoary Cress, Whitetop, heart-podded hoary cress

Lepidium draba, commonly known as hoary cress, whitetop, whiteweed, or peppergrass, is a perennial plant species in the mustard family, Brassicaceae. It is native to Eurasia, specifically regions of Europe and western to central Asia, but has become widely distributed across the globe. The species was first recorded in the United States around 1862, believed to have been unintentionally introduced through contaminated agricultural seed or ship ballast. Since then, it has been found throughout most of the United States, as well as in Canada and parts of Mexico.
