It prospers in drought and is highly competitive with other species once it becomes established.<\/p>\n<p>Growth Habit: Deep rooted perennial up to 2 feet tall, reproducing from root segments and seeds.<\/p>\n<p>Leaves: Blue-green in color, lance-shaped. Lower leaves are stalked; upper leaves have two lobes clasping the stem.<\/p>\n<p>Flowers: Plants have many white flowers with four petals, giving the plant a white, flat-topped appearance. Heart-shaped seed capsules contain two reddish-brown seeds separated by a narrow partition. Plants emerge in very early spring and have bloomed and set seed by mid-summer; prolific seed producer.<\/p>\n<p>Roots: Whitetop reproduces perennially by its long taproot, by creeping rhizomes, and by broken root segments left in contact with the soil.<\/p>\n<p>Other: Two other Cardaria species, lens-podded whitetop and hairy whitetop are common in the western U.S. with differences in seed capsules and fruit used to identify each species.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>Hoary Cress (White Top)<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"Hoary Cress (White Top)","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":286,"height":188,"hwstring_small":"height='90' width='128'","file":"2011\/12\/hoarycress-e1531411520317.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"hoarycress-e1531411520317-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.carboncountyweed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/hoarycress-e1531411520317-150x150.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"hoarycress-297x198.jpg","width":"297","height":"198","source_url":"https:\/\/www.carboncountyweed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/hoarycress-297x198.jpg"},"widget-thumb":{"file":"hoarycress-e1531411520317-80x50.jpg","width":80,"height":50,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.carboncountyweed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/hoarycress-e1531411520317-80x50.jpg"},"full":{"file":"hoarycress-e1531411520317.jpg","width":286,"height":188,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.carboncountyweed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/hoarycress-e1531411520317.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":""}},"post":null,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.carboncountyweed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/hoarycress-e1531411520317.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carboncountyweed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carboncountyweed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carboncountyweed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carboncountyweed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}]}}
