Bittercress is an annual member of the mustard family. It has become a serious problem in ornamental container nurseries. The seed capsule explodes and scatters seeds for some distance. In a closely packed container house it is obvious that an exploding capsule will infest many pots. In the field it acts as a winter annual.
