* '''Physical Characteristics''': ''Brassica'' species are generally herbaceous plants with simple leaves that lack stipules. They produce four-petaled flowers, often in shades of yellow, followed by pod-like fruits called siliques<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassicaceae</ref>.
* '''Growing Conditions''': These plants typically thrive in well-drained, fertile soils with a pH between 6 and 7. They require consistent moisture and full sun to partial shade<ref>https://missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?isprofile=0%3E&amp;taxonid=275023</ref>.
* '''Lifecycle''': Many ''Brassica'' species are annual or biennial, with some being perennial. They are often cool-season crops, meaning they grow best in cooler temperatures<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassicaceae</ref>.
