Garden Nasturtium

Nasturtium

tropaeolum majus
Tropaeolaceae
Nasturtium Family


 
USAGE
The dwarf, bushy nasturtiums add rainbows of cheerful
color in annual beds and borders.

Use the trailing forms on low fences or trellises,
on a gravelly or sandy slope, or in a hanging container.

Many gardeners include nasturtiums in the salad garden.

Nasturtiums are attacked by aphids, and organic gardeners
like to plant lots of them all around
the vegetable patch to serve as aphid "lures."

Nasturtiums are perfect for introducing kids
(and beginners of any age) to gardening.

Seeds are very large making them easy
for smaller children to manipulate.

Plants germinate quickly, grow rapidly and have
large showy flowers.

The fact that they are edible (as opposed to toxic!!!!)
makes nasturtium the number one plant for budding gardeners.
