Watercress Groleau (Lepidium sativum)
This variety of watercress has been growing since 1972 in the county of Portneuf thanks to Mrs. Nicole Groleau. The pungent leaves can be harvested throughout the summer. It is possible to make successive sowings every two weeks if you want to harvest young leaves continuously. This watercress will pleasantly spice up your salads and sandwiches. The plant is very vigorous and requires little maintenance apart from a regular supply of water.
