Description
Barbarea verna. 1.1L coir pot.
This low growing biennial has small green foliage with a hot peppery flavour. It requires less water than water cress and is more reliable for winter harvesting.
High in vitamin C and minerals, the leaves can be used in salads and sandwiches or with lightly cooked vegetables. Harvest the leaves just before use for maximum flavour. You can use the leaves all year round.
Land cress grows best in a semi shaded position in moist, well draining soil. It’ll grow about 20cm high by 50cm wide. Prune off the flowers as they appear.
