Cress Attraxa

Hardy Annual

Description

Lepidum sativum

This easy-to-grow filler brings texture and charm to bouquets! Early yellow blooms aren't great for cutting, but once they fade, ‘Attraxa’ steals the show with bubble shaped green seed pods that dry to a wheat-like hue—perfect for fresh or dried arrangements. Each plant produces one stem so I seed 3-6 seeds per cell or pot.
