Choose Wrinkled Crinkled Curly Cress seeds for upright growth bolt resistance. This variety brings hefty, toothsome bulk to salad mixes with its twisted, savoy leaves. The leaves grow very erect which means easier cutting and a cleaner product. This is a fast growing salad green that works well in containers or in the garden row. Try it as a microgreen or baby leaf variety - or grow it indoors at any time of year. Cress is a type of Brassica that is grown for its tangy flavour. It compliments fish and eggs particularly well.
Matures in 21 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
