Upland Cress is similar to Watercress but easier to grow. The plants are 4 to 6 inches tall with rosettes of dark green, glossy, rounded leaves. Upland Cress is used in salads and sandwiches and as a cooked green. The leaves have a mild, peppery flavor similar to that of nasturtium leaves. Upland Cress can be harvested at any stage from microgreens to full maturity. Upland Cress is the best type of Cress for home gardeners because it is long standing and slow bolting. Sow Upland Cress in spring or fall and use in a cut and come again fashion. It is often called Creasy Greens in the South.Botanical Name: Barbarea vernaLife Cycle: AnnualLight Requirement: Full Sun, Partial ShadePlanting Season: Cool SeasonPlant Type: Aquatic Flowering Herb, Belongs to Cabbage FamilyFeatures: Open Pollinated, Fast Growing, Container GardenFruit Size: 1-2 Inch Dark Green, Glossy, Rounded LeavesDays to Maturity: 50 DaysPlant Height: 3-6 inchesPlant Spacing: 6-8 inchesPlanting Depth: 1/4 inchSowing Method: Direct SowCold Stratification: NoHardiness Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Shipping Info: All orders are shipped by USPS First Class Mail.
