Position: full sun Soil: moist to wet or boggy soil (will grow shallowly submerged in water) Rate of growth: fast Hardiness: fully hardy Related to kale, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts, watercress is a peppery-tasting, leafy herb naturally found growing in gently running water forming dense mats of nutritious, edible foliage.

While it prefers a moist spot in full sun, it can be grown indoors in a water-filled container to extend the season. Growing instructions: Sow seeds into very moist seed compost in pots or trays at 61-64°F (16-18°C). Prefers a shady position to germinate which takes approx.

1-2 weeks. Plant out into reliably moist ground, or a regularly watered windowbox, and pick regularly to ensure juvenility and to prevent premature flowering. Sow: April to September Harvest: May to November
