Nasturtium Trailing Mix is the ultimate garden flower, easy to grow and low maintenance. With its ability to climb, the bright yellow, red and orange mix can be planted to cascade out of planters and along trellises. Nasturtiums are high in vitamin C with edible flowers and leaves.
Beautiful and beneficial, Nasturtiums are often planted as companions to vegetables as they can help to repel harmful pests. They make a good companion plant for cucurbits, brassicas, beans, tomatoes, and potatoes and are popular with pollinators.
Not only do Nasturtiums produce gorgeous blooms- the blooms are also edible and have a peppery, almost mustard-like taste. If you find yourself with a glut, try making a pesto with the leaves.
Tip: Be sure to soak your Nasturtium seeds for about 12 hours to help seedlings break through the tough outer shell.
