Description
Flowers vary from one plant to the next between primrose yellow with a crimson splotch and delicate veining, to almost all crimson with primrose contrasting markings, the other way round. We use this more than any other for salads — they really stand out in the bowl.
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.
