Description
A variation on the well known cress with a less curly leaf and a unique flavor which is hotter and stronger than traditional varieties. Incredibly easy to grow on the windowsill, in the conservatory or greenhouse and ready to harvest in 5-6 days. Delicious in sandwiches, salads or as a garnish.
Sowing Instructions

|---|
Sow in trays of good seed sowing mix, and place the tray on a warm window sill, providing a minimum temperature of 15-20C (59-68F). Lightly cover seeds with finely sieved sowing mix or vermiculite. After sowing, keep trays moist at all times, but not waterlogged. Do not exclude light as this helps germination. Germination usually takes 7-14 days.
Growing Instructions
Once seedlings are 5cm (2in.) high in the trays, they are ready to harvest. Simply cut with scissors, wash and add to your salad, in the same way as cress.
