How & when to plant Sow curled cress seeds thickly on the surface of moist soil and barely cover them, since they need light to germinate; they sprout in just 3 to 7 days. Grow it outdoors in cool weather, in full sun to part shade, or on a sunny windowsill in a shallow tray year-round. Sow a fresh batch every week or two for a steady supply. Our Curled Cress growing guide has more. Growing & care Cress needs little more than moisture and light. Keep it consistently damp, since it dries out quickly, and give it good light for sturdy growth. It is so fast that pests are rarely an issue, and in warm weather it will bolt quickly, so grow it in cool spells or indoors for the best leaves. Harvest Snip the leaves with scissors once they are a couple of inches tall, usually around 15 to 25 days, cutting what you need. You can take one big cutting or trim it a little at a time. Use it fresh right after cutting, since it does not keep long. Benefits & uses Curled cress adds a fresh, peppery kick wherever you use it. Pile it onto sandwiches, especially egg and cucumber, scatter it over salads and soups, or use it as a lively garnish. Grown as microgreens or full leaves, it brings instant flavor to the plate.
