Cochlearia oblongifolia

Cochlearia oblongifolia, known as the narrow-leaved scurvy grass, is a biennial herb native to the Arctic and subarctic regions of North America and Asia, including Alaska, British Columbia, California, and various islands in the Pacific Ocean such as Japan and the Aleutian Islands. This plant thrives in moist, light (sandy), medium, or heavy (clay) soil and requires full sun exposure to grow well. Standing at about 0.2 meters tall, it is an attractive addition to gardens due to its distinctive appearance. The edible parts of this plant are the leaves, which can be used for their nutritional value, particularly in providing vitamin C.
