INTRODUCING WATERCRESS SEEDS

Watercress seeds produce a superfood containing surprising amounts of vitamins and antioxidants. It’s no wonder they’ve been used for culinary purposes for a long time. Coming from Europe and also Asia, watercress prefers a watery habitat. It can be found naturally along streams and springs. Watercress is adaptable for growing in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 11, adjusting to different weather conditions when having consistent moisture.

HOW TO PLANT WATERCRESS SEEDS

Watercress seeds should be sown directly in consistently moist soil. A container submerged in water is another option. These seeds need light to germinate successfully. They should be planted on the soil’s surface, and remain uncovered. Maintain a water level that keeps the soil consistently wet. Within 5 to 15 days, germination should begin.

MAINTAINING WATERCRESS PLANTS

Watercress plants need constant access to water. They prefer partial shade to full sun, depending on the climate. They are mostly easy to care for but do require a clean water source to prevent possible disease spread. Harvesting regularly will encourage new growth. It can also prevent the plant from becoming leggy. Watercress is typically free from major pests, especially when grown in clean, flowing water.
