Lepidium setatum – ‘Emerald Beads’

The most versatile of the cresses we grow, the lightest in appearance with feathery, apple green stems covered in tiny, delicate seed pods. It is well branched so just a few stems go a long way.

Plant type: hardy annual

Site: full sun

Height: 90cm

Sown to grown: 8 weeks

Min. seeds per packet: 200 seeds

Growing tips: For good succession sow little and often, ideally every two weeks.

Harvesting/Arranging tips: Harvest when all the flowers have turned to seed pods up to the tip of the stem. Airy, textural filler for meadow-style arrangements with other hardy annuals. Also provides a light green foil for garden roses and clematis.

Vase life: 10 days

Price: £3.00
