Nasturtium
Nasturtiums are vibrant, easy-to-grow annuals known for their bright, striking flowers in shades of red, orange, and yellow. With round, green leaves and cheerful blooms, they add a pop of color to any garden, whether in containers, hanging baskets, or flower beds. Beyond their beauty, nasturtiums are edible, with both the leaves and flowers offering a peppery, mustard-like flavor that’s great for salads, garnishes, or even as a garnish for savory dishes. They also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies and are known to help deter certain pests, making them a wonderful companion plant.
Planting Tips:
- Full sun and well-drained soil for the best growth and vibrant blooms.
- Space plants 6-12 inches apart to allow for their spreading vines.
- Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
