American Upland Cress is a fast-growing annual leafy green prized for its crisp texture and mildly peppery flavour. A popular alternative to traditional watercress, it grows well in ordinary garden soil without the need for running water, making it an easy addition to vegetable patches and kitchen gardens. The nutritious leaves are excellent in salads, sandwiches and garnishes, and can also be lightly cooked like spinach. Shade tolerant and quick to mature, it provides reliable harvests through much of the year.
Approximately 880 seeds per gram
Approximately 300 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to September
Subtropics: March to September
Mild climates: March to November
Cold climates: September to April
Planting / Sowing
Sow seed 5 mm deep directly into fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout growth for the best quality leaves. Thin seedlings to 15–20 cm apart and harvest the young leaves from around 45 days. Regular picking encourages continuous fresh growth.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
