How To Grow Watercress From Seed: Sow watercress seeds from March to September. To grow indoors, scatter seeds thinly on the surface of moist compost in pots or trays, then lightly cover with a fine layer of compost. Keep the soil consistently moist and place in a partially shaded location.

Alternatively, sow seeds directly outdoors in rich, moist soil near a water source. Thin seedlings to 10–15 cm apart.

Begin harvesting young leaves in 4–6 weeks. Keep trimming to encourage new growth. Watercress is perennial and thrives best in consistently moist conditions year-round.
