Have you spotted any Nashville mustard in March?
No, it’s not a Music City-made condiment — it’s an annual winter flower found only in the upper Middle Tennessee area. Nashville mustard is putting on a show at places like Fort Negley and Elmington Park (and even received a shoutout in the New York Times), but it won’t be around for long.
If you want to see the superbloom up close, use this list of known public spots or join Friends of Fort Negley Park + Joanna Brichetto (author of “This is How a Robin Drinks: Essays on Urban Nature”) for a guided event on Saturday, March 29. It’s free to attend, but RSVP is required.
In the meantime, brush up on these 11 facts about the flower — such as how it carries a honey-like scent and can’t be bought anywhere in the world.
