Leafy Greens Cress Watercress showcases distinctly curled foliage that imparts visual appeal and textural complexity to fresh salads while delivering a sharp, peppery flavor that distinguishes it from milder greens. The characteristic leaf structure creates natural loft and volume, elevating both presentation and eating experience. This variety excels in field production environments, demonstrating exceptional bolt resistance that extends the harvest window and maintains leaf quality throughout the growing season. The ergonomic leaf architecture facilitates efficient harvesting, while the plant's capacity for multiple successive cuts from a single planting maximizes yield and economic return. Commercial and home growers alike appreciate the consistent productivity this variety provides across diverse growing conditions. Watercress reaches maturity in approximately 60 days, with a robust germination rate of 80% or higher ensuring reliable stand establishment and predictable crop performance. The vigorous growth habit and reliable productivity make this variety particularly valuable for growers managing multiple plantings or seeking continuous harvest schedules. Beyond culinary merit, Watercress delivers impressive nutritional density, contributing valuable micro-nutrients and phyto-compounds to the diet. The excellent post-harvest performance—including extended shelf life and maintained quality during storage and transport—makes this variety particularly suitable for market-oriented growers and value-added applications. Our Non-GMO, heirloom seeds are sustainably sourced through practices that prioritize ecological stewardship and genetic diversity preservation. The packaging reflects our environmental commitment, engineered to be reusable and fully recyclable while reducing climate impact.
