Watercress is quite happy in slow moving waters and can also be grown in streams, waterfalls, pond margins or in tops of filters. Fast growing, but easy to cut back if it appears to get our of control. It produces an abundance of little white flower from May to August.

This plant will go to seed during hot weather and die back, but it produces so many seeds, it will replace itself .
