Land cress is a low growing biennial with attractive green foliage that has a hot, peppery flavour.

• Land cress is a great source of vitamin C and minerals, making it valuable for when we need to build up our immunity to seasonal colds, flu, and other respiratory diseases.
• It complements rocket, lettuce, endive, chicory, mustard greens, and fresh herbs like parsley, coriander, celery leaf, and basil.
• You can use it in salads or add it to lightly cooked vegetables like mushrooms, asparagus or snow peas.
• Land cress is easy to grow and requires less water than its cousin, water cress.
• This herb is best grown in a lightly shaded, moist spot in the garden and can be harvested all year round.
• It will cascade beautifully from a patio pot or hanging basket.
• Land cress is a part of the Swan Valley Nursery range and can be found at your local garden centre or Bunnings Warehouse.
