THLASPI ARVENSIS PENNY CRESS GREEN DRAGON

With tiny apple green disc shaped seeds on long, strong multi-branching stems, Penny Cress is one of the best bouquet fillers we’ve seen in a long while. A real ‘must have’ for mixed bouquets and winter wreathes which can be used either fresh or dried. 36-40”. HHA.

Direct sow the seeds in the Autumn to bloom and make seed heads in the late Spring. The seeds that germinate in the Autumn will produce a rosette of leaves up to 6” across and will overwinter resuming their growth in the spring.

If sown in the Spring, the seeds will germinate during the Spring-Summer but these will probably not form a rosette and produce only stems that will bloom and have the distinctive highly decorative seed pods. Note: Can be invasive but easily controlled by hand pulling unwanted seedlings.
