I think this is the first year that this product has been available, and what a sucess. I am so pleased with the watercress, very easy to grow as long as you keep it very wet, quick to germinate and very quick to crop, I have been harvesting this almost daily for the last two months, and still it continues. I think this is going to be a must have for me year on year. Well done Marshalls.

Peppery flavoured and can be grown outdoors without running water.

Sow Outdoors: May-September thinly ½in (1cm) deep 12in (30cm) apart in harvest location. Sow in a shady moist spot, or in a 12in (30cm) patio pot placed on a larger saucer of water.

Grow On: Change water regularly.

Harvest: June-October. Regular picking is essential for continuity.
