What are Nasturtiums?
Nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus) are cheerful yellow, orange, and sometimes red flowers that grow on large creeping vines which will readily overtake any available surface. Found growing all over the world, nasturtiums are naturally pest resistant and delicious: the leaves and flowers of the plant can be eaten, and have a spicy flavor which goes well with a variety of dishes. Nasturtiums are also very easy to grow, and a natural choice for many gardeners who want an attractive, low maintenance plant.
