It grows naturally along slow-moving streams and does best in constantly moist soil, making it a good fit for containers set in a water-filled saucer. Harvested young, its crisp leaves add a peppery bite to salads and sandwiches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeed Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watercress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eNasturtium officinale\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife Cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep soil constantly moist; never let it dry out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-10 inches tall with a 6-8 inch spread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, fertile, moisture-retentive soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow about 3 weeks before the last frost date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to Plant: Sow about 3 weeks before the frost-free date for your area; in mild climates, a fall sowing also works.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil: Fertile, moisture-retentive soil amended with compost.
