Summary

Wrinkled Crinkled Cress is popular among chefs due to its fancy crinkled leaves and intense flavor. It is a cross between a broad leaf Persian and a curly cress. Plants produce crisp upright leaves with ruffled edges. Leaves have tangy peppery flavor. This frilly, flavorsome cress makes a beautiful garnish and is perfect for salads and sandwiches. Wrinkled Crinkled Cress is slow bolting and gives gardeners multiple cuts from a single planting.
