Seed grown and collected at Our Mountain Garden.
Emerald Beads Cress produces tall stems covered in delicate green “beads” that add beautiful texture and movement to floral arrangements.
This versatile cool-season annual is prized by flower growers for its fresh lime-green colour and airy structure, making it perfect for bouquets, table arrangements, and dried flowers.
See my photos where I have used it in our farm gate Cut Flower Bouquets
