How to Grow

cress grows best in cooler weather and flourishes in a moist soil that is fertile and highly organic. Select a site that is bright, but has some shelter from the hot, direct afternoon sun. Sow seed 6mm (1/4") deep. Keep cress well watered and the soil moist. Never let it dry out. One packet sows approximately 10m (33') of row.
