Not just another green! Variegated Land Cress has lovely marbled leaves with a soft spice flavour, crisp and tangy, that will pep up salads but not drown other flavours. It can be grown at any time of the year with protection or simply during the warmer months.
SOW: at any time of the year: outdoors from March to August, at all other times it will need protection. You can sow directly into the soil at no more than 1cm deep. Alternatively sow in pots or seed trays, lightly cover with compost & keep at about 15°C until germinated (about 14 days).
GROW: space plants about 15cm apart. They are happy in partial shade. You do need to keep them regularly watered in dry weather although they do not need huge amounts.
ENJOY: lovely peppery tasting leaves in sandwiches and salads. Plants will give you a supply over a long period.
