Nasturtium

🏵️ Cheerful & Edible

Nasturtiums are beloved for their vibrant, jewel-toned blooms and unique, lily-pad-shaped leaves. These vigorous, easy-to-grow annuals offer a wonderful mix of beauty and utility, as both the flowers and leaves are edible, adding a peppery zest to salads. Whether trailing from containers or carpeting a sunny border, they bring a bright, rustic aesthetic to the garden.

• Growing: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. They prefer average to poor soil; in soil that is too rich, they will produce plenty of lush foliage but fewer flowers.

• Sowing: Direct sow in late spring once the soil has warmed. They have large seeds that are easy to handle and dislike being transplanted, so sow directly into their final spot.

• Care: Very low maintenance. They are naturally resilient and require minimal watering. Avoid over-fertilizing to keep them blooming profusely.

• Blooming: Produces a steady, abundant display from early summer until the first autumn frost.
