Details
A mix of bushy compact Nasturtiums. A bed of plants produces a stunning range of bright flowers in red, golden-yellow, orange, pink, chamois rose and some bi-colors. Well known in the restaurant trade as an attractive garnish and edible flower. The peppery leaves are also very flavorful.
Nasturtiums are pretty annuals to use as edgings or at the front of a flower bed with other low-growing annuals and perennials. Use them to add summertime color to rock gardens. They also look beautiful in containers and window boxes. Use nasturtiums to garnish salads or other dishes, or cut them for a vase.
