Fast germination and growth make this a great early spring and fall green to add a bite to your favorite salad. Garden cress shouldn’t be confused with its cousin watercress.

If you’re planting to transplant eventually, sow seeds indoors about 4 to 6 weeks before the average last frost date. Germination can take 5 to 15 days. This kind of cress desires a sunny environment, but can stand partial shade Garden cress is fairly low maintenance, just be sure to keep it watered. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can harvest younger garden cress sprouts by pinching the tops as needed. Cut the stems and leaves once the true leaves appear or when they grow at least 3 inches tall. Harvest before this plant matures, as garden cress is at its prime early. Garden cress is often used in salads, sandwiches or eaten as a microgreen. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeed Uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrogreens \u0026amp; baby salad greens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarnishes \u0026amp; sandwiches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprouting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurvival food storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooking \u0026amp; seasoning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds Per Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 oz- Approximately 22,800 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 oz - Approximately 91,200 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lb - Approximately 364,800 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 lb - Approximately 1,824,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 lb - Approximately 9,120,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":35361881522338,"sku":"31636","price":5.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":35361881555106,"sku":"31635","price":8.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":35361881587874,"sku":"31634","price":20.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":35361881620642,"sku":"20879","price":42.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 Lb","offer_id":35361881653410,"sku":"42238","price":185.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6706\/0898\/products\/cress-upland-seed-wm_700.jpg?v=1595856820","url":"https:\/\/bestchoiceproducts13-com.myshopify.com\/products\/cress-upland-seeds","provider":"bestchoiceproducts13.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
