Garlic Cress is a hardy, leafy perennial with smooth, rounded leaves and delicate white flowers that bloom in early spring. Native to south-eastern Europe, it thrives in temperate gardens and naturalised borders, offering a punchy garlic aroma and flavour without the need for bulbs.
Its leaves are edible raw or cooked, adding a spicy, garlicky kick to salads, pestos, and sautes. As a member of the Brassicaceae family, it also supports early pollinators and can be used in companion planting to deter pests and enrich biodiversity.
Low-maintenance and cold-tolerant, Peltaria alliacea self-seeds modestly and returns reliably each year. A flavourful, functional addition to edible landscapes, forest gardens, and herb spirals. Perfect groundcover plant for fruit tree guilds.

FAQs

We hope our FAQ’s help, but if you need any further information please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

We can only send orders to other parts of mainland GB due to strict regulations for the sending of plant materials and sadly we do not have the capacity to fill in phytosanitary certificates.

As we are a small business we currently have one packing day a week, and so expect your delivery within 2 weeks from ordering your plants.

At this moment in time we are not open for visits to the nursery, however if you come on a volunteer day or in-person course with Huw or Sam at Dan Yr Onnen you can of course then see the nursery and purchase plants in person.

Because working with plants can be an unpredictable business, for simplicity we do not offer pre-orders on all products however we may occasuinally open certain orders for pre orders and these will be clearly marked. The best time to know that we have restocked is to join our mailing list followed by looking out for updates on our Instagram.

We have decided to focus on growing plants 100% naturally without the limitations of going with organic certification. No artificial pesticides, fungicides, or anyother-icides are used on site.
