Watercress seeds — peppery, nutrient-rich salad leaves

Watercress is a fast, peppery salad leaf packed with flavour and famously rich in vitamins and minerals. Botanically it is Nasturtium officinale, and it sits happily in both our culinary herb range and our fresh leafy greens. New to growing leaves from seed? Our herb growing guide covers the essentials.

Watercress is one of the quickest crops you can sow — the herb calendar shows the best timing.

A leaf that loves water

True to its name, watercress thrives in cool, constantly moist conditions — you do not need a stream to grow it, just a container kept reliably wet. Its crisp, peppery leaves are superb in salads, sandwiches and soups, and because it crops so quickly it is one of the most satisfying leafy greens to grow at home. It also grows neatly in pots among our container-friendly herbs.

Growing watercress from seed

Sow on the surface of moist compost and keep it permanently damp — standing pots in a tray of water works well. Watercress prefers cool conditions and partial shade, which stops it bolting and keeps the leaves mild and tender. Harvest by snipping the tops, and the plants will regrow for repeated cut-and-come-again pickings.

Crisp, peppery and quick to crop — here is where to take watercress next.

Ho bisogno di un ruscello per coltivare il crescione?
No. È sufficiente mantenerlo costantemente umido. Lasciare un vaso in un piattino con acqua tiene il substrato abbastanza bagnato per ottenere foglie sane e tenere. Come si coltiva il crescione da seme?
Semina sulla superficie del substrato umido, tienilo permanentemente bagnato e posizionalo in un luogo fresco e parzialmente ombreggiato per evitare che vada a seme. Che sapore ha il crescione?
Ha un sapore fresco, croccante e pepato che esalta insalate, panini e zuppe, ed è famoso per il suo ricco contenuto di vitamine e minerali. Posso raccogliere il crescione più volte?
Sì. Taglia le cime e le piante ricresceranno, offrendo raccolte ripetute taglia-e-ricresci per tutta la stagione.
