Grower
Hydroponic Watercress is an entirely edible, delicately textured green with lime colored leaflets that generally have three ovately shaped lobes. The leaves sprout from thin succulent stems that all connected to a a cluster of roots that have been grown in water. Each element of the plant carries flavors of pepper and mustard that become bolder with the plant's maturity. Hydroponic Watercress is generally more tame flavored than soil-sown and wild watercress.
Hydroponic Watercress is available year-round.
