Description
Lepidium sativum
Add a little spice to your life with this zippy, quick-growing li’l darlin’.
Much easier to grow and more drought-tolerant than watercress, but with a similar peppery taste. The delicate, pungent leaves add a lovely herbal-floral spice to salad mixes and a fresh pop to boring dishes. It is a delight when added to a sandwich. Best sown fall through spring, as it bolts quickly in hot weather.
Seeds grown by Purple Sage Farms in Middleton, Idaho and Affinity Farm in Moscow, Idaho.
300 seeds.
Directions: Direct sow outdoors fall or spring and lightly cover. Fairly cold-tolerant & fantastically easy to grow.
