Garden cress (Lepidium sativum) is an edible herb related to watercress and mustard. It is easily adapted to hydroponic cultivation and thrives in slightly alkaline water. Edible shoots are harvested in one to two weeks after planting. Outdoor planting does well in Hardiness zone 7 with a soil pH of 5.6 - 7.5.
