Description
Curly Cress (Lepidium sativum), often called Garden Cress or Peppergrass, is a fast-growing heirloom herb prized for its fine, deeply cut, fern-like leaves and crisp, peppery kick. Delivering a bright, tangy flavor similar to watercress, it brings fresh zest to sandwiches, salads, soups, and egg dishes. Exceptionally easy to grow, it produces harvestable baby greens in as little as two weeks, making it ideal for succession planting outdoors or year-round indoor windowsill culture.
