Upland Cress
Growing Upland Cress
‘Creasy Green’ is a classic Southern green prized for its peppery flavor, glossy dark green leaves, and excellent staying power in the garden. Plants form compact rosettes of smooth, rounded leaves and are slow to bolt once established, providing a longer harvest window than many other leafy greens.
Start ‘Creasy Green’ indoors about ¼ inch deep, or grow it hydroponically. Space plants 6 to 8 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 6 to 8 inches tall and may establish slowly at first before developing into productive, long-standing plants.
Ready to harvest in about 50 days, begin picking the outer leaves once they reach your preferred size while leaving the center of the plant intact for continued growth.
Peppery, fresh, and versatile, ‘Creasy Green’ is excellent for sandwiches, salads, soups, garnishes, and everyday cooking.
