CHERRY ROSE NASTURTIUM SEEDS

Tropaeolum majus

Another compact nasturtium that is just as appropriate for the salad garden as it is for bedding and container culture. Mounding plants to just 1' are entirely edible with a wonderful peppery flavor. These plants have clear green leaves with pretty deep pink flowers that are fantastic in salads and herbal cocktails.

Easy to grow. Sow indoors or out in spring. Can be slow to germinate in cool soils. Transplants sometimes look sickly and sad for a few weeks before perking up. Nasturtiums bloom most prolifically in poor soils. Nitrogen-rich soils will produce lots of delicious succulent foliage but few flowers.

Nasturtiums are perfect for containers and balcony gardens. They are quite tolerant of neglect. We love them as a companion for onions and leeks in the kitchen garden and they are among our favorite leafy greens and edible flowers!

Packet contains at least 30 seeds.
