Description

Bright, zesty, orange Nasturtium which will produce masses of tangerine coloured flowers all summer.

Flower production: 3-4 months. You can eat all parts of nasturtiums, the young leaves, the flower buds, flowers, and even the peppery caper-tasting seed pods.

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.
