About Boechera perennans (S.Watson) W.A.Weber
Boechera perennans is a rockcress species commonly called perennial rockcress. It is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This is a perennial herb that can grow up to 28 inches (71 cm) tall. Its basal leaves are hairy and often toothed, while scattered upper leaves reach up to 4 cm (1.6 in) in length. Small, widely spaced purple or pink-purple flowers grow on long, thin stalks near the top of the stem. These flowers develop into fruits called siliques, which are long, very narrow pods that grow up to 6 centimeters long.
