Details

Land Cress is a flavourful, nutrient‐dense edible plant known for its mildly spicy, watercress‐like taste. It's perfect for both reptile feeding and culinary use, often grown as a substitute for watercress due to its easier growing conditions.

This compact plant thrives in cool, shaded spots and adapts well to pots and planters. Ideal for year‐round growth indoors or outdoors, it's a popular choice for keepers who want to supplement herbivore diets with fresh greens.
