Description
Very quick growing, with a mixed colour cascade of flowers – cream, yellow, orange and red. Brilliant for picking for a small table centre and excellent at the centre of a flower bed to bring in lots of good insects (ladybirds, lacewings, hoverflies and bees) to control the bad. They're also delicious, making a lovely peppery addition to salads.
This variety is more interesting than many, with lovely cream dappled, variegated leaves that look great in a salad as well as the flowers.
Plant it in the veg patch as a companion plant to repel white fly and attract black fly away from cabbages and broad beans. It has an intense flavour reminiscent of capers.
Nasturtiums have a strong flavour and all parts of the plant are edible. You can use the young leaves and flowers in salads, and, as the plants go over, the seed heads can be used wherever you might use capers, too.
Care Tips
Once established, nasturtiums need very little attention. If you feed them you will gain leaf at the expense of flowers, and too much watering will give the same result.
