What makes Garden Cress special

Garden cress is especially suitable for beginners, children, and hobby gardeners who want to gain their first experience in growing herbs. Experienced gardeners also appreciate the fast and reliable cultivation as a vitamin source in winter.

How to use Garden Cress

Sprinkle the seeds evenly on damp cotton or loose soil, press them gently, and keep the substrate consistently moist. Place the tray in a bright spot without direct midday sun. After about a week, you can harvest the cress with scissors just above the soil and consume it immediately.
