Watercress

Each plug contains 2-3 plants

Watercress

A crisp, peppery delight! This easy-to-grow baby leaf variety produces dark green, tender foliage perfect for salads, sandwiches, or garnishes. If left to flower, it forms charming tiny white daisy-like blooms. Its creeping habit makes it perfect for filling gaps in beds or containers.

Harvest

Snip tops once leaves are large enough. Keep cutting regularly to prevent flowering and encourage continuous growth.

Growing Instructions

• Planting: Place plugs 15–20cm apart in well-drained soil or containers.
• Watering: Keep soil moist—running water isn’t necessary.
• Feeding: Apply a liquid fertiliser regularly to boost growth.
• Growth Habit: Creeping plants will naturally spread, so give them space to trail.

Top Tips

• Regular Cutting: Frequent snipping prevents flowering and promotes fresh leaves.
• Moisture Matters: Watercress loves damp soil—don’t let it dry out.
• Container Friendly: Ideal for tubs, troughs, or garden beds.
• Flower Bonus: If you let some flower, enjoy the tiny white blooms for a pretty touch.
