Each month we will feature a common weed on this page in various stages of its life cycle. You can compare these photos with what you see in your yard. Weeds are basically grouped into two areas: Grassy and broadleaf, which are self explanatory. We use herbicides specifically designed to control both types. The herbicides we use are designed to work into the root system and kill the weed completely.

London Rocket Brassicaceae (Mustard family)

Back to Common Weed List

London Rocket, a winter annual, is erect, usually 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall. Stems and leaves are smooth. Stems are often branched. Leaves, 1 to 4 inches long, are usually deeply divided with a large terminal lobe. Flowers are small, yellow, and bourne on slender stalks small clusters at the stem tips. As early pods mature, the flowering spikes grow longer; eventually a large number of 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inch pods are borne along the flowering stem.

The margins of the seedling's first true leaves are always indented, distinguishing seedlings of London rocket from those of sheperdspurse.

London Rocket, a European native, is common in irrigated crops, orchards and vineyards. It is also found along roadsides, fence rows, and ditches.

	London Rocket seedlings have deeply lobed leaves.
	Yellow flowers are borne on slender stalks in small clusters.
