Shining Pepperweed - (Lepidium nitidum)

We have almost no information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors at least in the milder parts of the country. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Succeeds in most soils.

Young leaves and flowering tops - raw or cooked. A hot cress-like flavor, they can be cooked and used as greens. Seed. Used as a flavoring.

Seed - sow spring in a cold frame. Germination should take place within 3 weeks.

Open places below 900 metres in California.
