I believe Creasy Greens are also called Upland Cress. If you google that, you will find sources, for I bought seeds online last year. Sadly, I can't remember from which catalogue.
Good luck!

Lots of vendors carry Upland Cress (Barberea verna) which most of use as Creasy salet. If you have a Southern States Cooperative in your area, you can probably get it there if not some on line vendors are:

what do you do with this. Is it for salads or to cook like a collard

Like turnip greens. Usually sown in the fall grown over the winter and harvested in March or April. Very popular in Virginia when I was young, because it was the first green available in the spring. Fo my money has better flavor than Turnip greens.

Are they bitter

Not to me, altho there is a wild cress that looks somewhat similar that is used in wild life plantings that is as bitter as gall.
