Mignonette (Resedaceae)

Mignonette

Mignonette are a distinct group primarily recognized by their clusters of small, pale flowers, often white or yellow, which stand out against their lighter green foliage. These plants typically thrive in arid or semi-arid environments, adapting through their deep root systems and drought-resistant leaves, making them suited to sandy and rocky soils. Their unique seed pods assist in survival by dispersing seeds efficiently when brushed by passing animals or gusts of wind.
