What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Watercress is a semi-aquatic, peppery green herb with an impressive nutritional profile. Watercress naturally grows along the banks of streams and other sources of running water, but can be adapted to garden and container growing easily.

Semi-Aquatic Herb - Peppery watercress grows naturally on the banks of creeks and streams. It’s easy to adapt this deliciously spicy herb to growing in containers and in the home garden, especially in wet areas.
Super Healthy - Watercress is a cruciferous vegetable. Like all brassicas, watercress has an impressive nutritional profile, especially when home-grown and enjoyed fresh as an herb or a salad green.
