Nasturtium, or Tropaeolum, is a summer-loving annual flowering plant that thrives in gardens with more than 50 vibrant varieties. Its delightful trumpet-shaped flowers range from cream to fiery reds, often featuring stripes or bi-colours, and can brighten any space with their radiant hues. Beyond their beauty, nasturtiums are highly functional, as they are rich in Vitamin C and packed with nutrients. Both the sweet flowers and peppery leaves are edible, adding a tangy, spicy flavor to various dishes. Known for their sprawling, climbing growth, nasturtiums can cover ground or structures with their circular, vein-radiating leaves. This plant is easy to grow and makes an excellent companion plant, offering not just aesthetic appeal but also benefits in the garden. While nasturtiums complete their life cycle within a year, they reliably set plenty of viable seeds, ensuring their presence in your garden year after year.
