Lepidium ‘Green Dragon’ – The designer’s filler that doesn’t just fill… it slays.
Looking for a filler that pulls its weight and then some? Meet Lepidium Green Dragon – the tall, airy, accent you didn’t know you needed (but now won’t want to live without). With its arching stems, fresh texture, and seed-head sparkle, this isn’t just any old pepper cress lookalike — it’s the new standard in bouquet filler.

Versatile green that works year-round, no matter the season or trend
-
Excellent vase life – 10+ days post-harvest
-
Ships like a champ with strong resistance to handling
-
Quick 8–12 week turnaround = fast rotations & more stems per square foot
-
Available year-round, because filler addiction is real
How to grow it:
These plugs are double or triple sown on purpose – plant them as a clump, 6–9" apart. Support netting? Recommended. Cool season planting is best, and while we suspect it's frost-hardy, official data’s still TBD. Harvest when the tiny white flowers fade and disc-shaped seed heads form. (That's the money moment.)
TL;DR:
It’s clean, green, and fills like a dream. Green Dragon is the filler with height, texture, and a designer cult following. Now trending in Europe — and finally available for your farm or studio.
