Fothergill's Little Gardeners Egg Heads Cress Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Lepidium sativum, the ultimate lightning-fast salad herb for immediate educational success.
• Plant Class: Annual Indoor Herb, offering complete growing freedom all year round with absolutely no garden, allotment, or soil required.
• Lightning-Fast Results: Sprouts within days and is ready to snip in just over a week, making it the perfect choice for keeping impatient or very young minds completely captivated.
• Playful Creativity: Encourages kids to draw funny faces on clean, empty eggshells or yoghurt pots, creating their own little character "Egg Heads" that look funnier by the day as the cress grows tall.
• Texture & Taste: Yields tiny, crisp, dark green leaves with a pleasantly fresh, peppery bite that children love to snip themselves to sprinkle over egg sandwiches or lunchtime salads.
• Growth Footprint: Forms a dense, uniform green canopy that can easily spread out up to 30cm (12in), depending on your indoor container setup.

Care & Growing Instructions:

• Sowing Position: No soil needed! Simply line the bottom of an empty eggshell, yoghurt pot, or small saucer with damp cotton wool, tissue, or kitchen paper. Sprinkle the seeds thickly over the top and place the container on a bright indoor windowsill.
• Maintenance & Harvesting: Ensure the growing material stays wet by checking it daily and giving it a gentle mist or a few drops of water. Once the green stalks reach a few centimetres high, hand your little gardener a pair of child-safe scissors to harvest their fresh, home-grown cress!
