Rocket flowers from May to July with creamy white, dark-veined cruciform flowers. It comes from the Mediterranean region, grows quickly and bolts rapidly in the heat, which makes the salad bitter. For the colony, that is exactly what is good: the flowers provide nectar and pollen and are readily visited in the vegetable garden.
