Description
Extra Curled Cress Seeds (Peppercress) 1500. Heirloom Vegetable.
Approx. 1,000 seeds/pkt (600 seeds/gram)
Seed is quick to sprout, soon forming small stems of lacy deep green leaves that make a delicious addition to salads, sandwiches, omelettes and mixed vegetable dishes. Sow seed every 2 weeks right through the season for a continuous supply of this little beauty. Best harvested when young for top flavour and tenderness. During winter, this variety can be easily grown in containers set in a bright window.
How to Grow
Cress grows best in cooler weather and flourishes in a moist soil that is fertile and highly organic. Select a site that is bright, but has some shelter from the hot, direct afternoon sun. Sow seed 6 mm deep. Keep cress well watered and the soil moist. Never let it dry out. One packet sows approximately 10 m of row. Germination occurs in 5-10 days.
