Cress ‘Attraxa’
Camelina sativa
Description
This vigorous, easy-to-grow filler produces tall stems that are a versatile and wonderful textural ingredient for bouquets. Early in the season, their yellow blooms do not make a notable cut flower, but after blooms fade, ‘Attraxa’ puts on a show. The glaucous green seedpods dry to the color of wheat and are a great choice for bouquets and dried arrangements.
Details
Height: 32 to 40 in
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 60 to 90 days

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Start seed indoors in trays 4 to 6 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed, or direct-seed as soon as the ground can be worked. Succession-plant every 2 weeks for continual harvest. Don’t pinch plants.
