How to Plant Watercress from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Outdoors: Sow directly in the garden in early spring or fall.

Preparing the Planting Site

  1. Select a container, hydroponic system, or moist garden bed.
  2. Use rich, loamy soil if planting in the ground.
  3. Ensure access to clean, slow-moving water for aquatic growth.

Sowing Seeds Outdoors

  1. Scatter seeds in a shallow water source, hydroponic system, or moist soil.
  2. Press seeds gently into the surface.
  3. Keep consistently moist and provide shade if temperatures are warm.
  4. Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart once they appear.

Sowing Seeds Indoors

  1. Fill seed trays with moist potting mix.
  2. Sprinkle seeds evenly on the surface and press lightly.
  3. Cover with a thin layer of soil.
  4. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  5. Place in a warm location (65-70°F/18-21°C).
  6. Germination occurs in 5-7 days.
  7. Transplant seedlings when they are 2-3 inches tall.

Pro Tip

Watercress thrives in constantly moist soil, so grow it near a water source or in a container with shallow water. For the best flavor, harvest young leaves regularly before the plant flowers.

Bonus: Snipping the stems often encourages fresh, tender growth!

Getting to know your Watercress

Watercress is a fast-growing aquatic or semi-aquatic leafy green with a peppery flavor. It thrives in clean, flowing water or consistently moist soil in partial shade. The plant is rich in vitamins A, C, and K. Watercress spreads quickly and is often grown in shallow containers or near water sources. It requires frequent harvesting to prevent flowering, which can cause bitterness.
