Turkish rocket (Bunias orientalis, Laelia orientalis)
Turkish rocket can be recognized by its yellow flowers and deeply incised leaves. This perennial is easy to grow, hardy, edible and very melliferous which makes it an excellent choice for your permaculture projects. These elongated pear-shaped flower buds have a taste similar to rapini. It is particularly appreciated for its young leaves, which taste like cabbage. They can also be cooked just like spinach.
