Default Watercress

This is a great inexpensive plant to put into your fast flowing water such
as waterfalls. I bought some last year at an Asian supermarket with sharp
leaves. Over the winter I found another variety with rounder looking
leaves. Is this my imagination or is there more than one variety ? Is one
variety better for ponds than another ?


There may be more than one variety. The watercress I've bought has always
had rounded leaves. I buy fresh water chestnuts and put them in the pond
too. They send up shoots that are kind of interesting.
