Land Cress plants
Information
They are delicious eaten raw in salads. It's also great in sandwiches, cooked like spinach, or used in soup, pasta sauce, pesto, curries, stews and omelettes.
The yellow flowers are edible too, and the seeds can be sprouted and added to a salad also.
Land Cress is a wonderful companion plant, especially for other brassica, to help control the annoying white butterfly.
Land Cress puts out substances from their leaves known as glucosinolates
which stimulate white butterflies to lay their eggs
on them. They also contain natural soap-like substances called saponins which kill the baby caterpillars when they hatch and eat the leaves!
It’s a herb that is very hardy, thriving in partial shade or sun. It grows quickly, then self-seeds for next year's supply!
Organically grown herb in a recycled or compostable pot.
