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.

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.
