Watercress is a crisp, peppery leafy green that grows in shallow water or very wet soil, producing small white flowers. It thrives in cool conditions and is commonly harvested for culinary use.
Standard watercress (Nasturtium officinale) is widely cultivated; some regions grow brown cress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum subsp. microphyllum) as a cold-hardier variant with slightly smaller leaves.
