Lepidium ‘Green Dragon’ – The designer’s filler that doesn’t just fill… it slays.

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.
