Keep in a warm, bright location and mist regularly to maintain moisture. Harvest when seedlings are 2-3 inches tall, typically within 10-14 days. For garden growing, sow seeds outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 6-8 inches apart. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Cress grows quickly and can be harvested as baby leaves or allowed to mature. Succession sow every 2-3 weeks for a continuous supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Wrinkled Crinkled Cress seeds (Lepidium sativum).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824725950774,"sku":"FOLIA2-1099","price":13.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6520927610_cz1j.jpg?v=1793004338","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/500-wrinkled-crinkled-cress-seeds-lepidium-sativum-microgreen-salad-herb","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
