Leafy Greens Cress Upland represents the superior choice for outdoor garden cultivation, producing robust six to eight inch rosettes of dark green, glossy, rounded leaves that rival watercress in appearance while proving substantially easier to cultivate. This cold-hardy variety exhibits exceptional longevity in the garden, remaining slow to bolt and maintaining productivity throughout extended growing seasons. Regionally celebrated as "Creasy Greens" throughout the American South, Upland Watercress delivers the most refined flavor profile among winter pot herbs. Plant in autumn to establish a reliable supply of tender greens spanning winter and spring months. The versatile leaves integrate seamlessly into traditional Southern cuisine—simmered slowly in a pot with minimal water alongside beans or meat, then enjoyed with cornbread for an authentic, nourishing meal. This variety's extended harvest window and consistent productivity make it an economical choice for home gardeners seeking reliable winter greens. Expect mature plants ready for harvest in approximately 70 days, with a dependable germination rate of 70% or better supporting successful establishment.
