Barbarea verna aka American Cress

American Cress’s native range is S.W. Europe. Naturalized in Britain[17].

American Cress should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

American Cress is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Belle Island Cress is thriving and blooming, choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still allow for adequate drainage and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great soil additives that will help to retain moisture and provide your Belle Island Cress with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth. Make sure to mix these soil additives into the potting soil before planting and water the soil thoroughly. By providing your American Cress with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.
