Cress seeds — peppery leaves in days

Cress is the fastest, most foolproof leaf you can grow — peppery salad and garden cress that germinate in days on a windowsill or sown straight into the garden. It is one of our quickest fast-growing vegetables and a year-round source of fresh leaves. Curious how it works? Our seed growing 101 guide explains the basics.

Sow indoors any time, or outdoors little and often — the calendar shows the windows.

Windowsill or garden

Sow thickly on damp paper or compost indoors for a snip-and-eat crop in days, or sow outdoors as a fast, peppery salad leaf. For a tray of mixed seedlings, see our microgreens and sprouts.

Quick, easy and kid-friendly

Keep it moist and bright, snip with scissors, and sow a fresh batch every week or two. It pairs well with lettuce and other quick leaves. See all leafy greens and vegetable seeds.

Looking for more quick, fresh salad leaves to snip from the garden? Browse the full range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is cress?
Salad cress is one of the quickest of all — ready to snip in a week or so on a windowsill.

Do I need soil?
No — it germinates on damp paper or a tray indoors, or sow it thinly in soil outdoors.

Is it the same as watercress?
No — garden and salad cress are grown dry; watercress needs constantly wet conditions.

Can children grow it?
Yes — it is fast, foolproof and a classic first crop for young growers.
