From your friends at Botanical Interests: Annual. Blooms spring to fall frost. 12" tall. Full sun or light shade. Majestic deep red 2"- 2...Read More 1/2" flowers are a stunning contrast against the bright-green foliage. Edible flowers and foliage are a gourmet treat, tasting like watercress. Every salad should have edible Nasturtium and Viola flowers! Mahogany's rich color is reminiscent of gleaming antique furniture. Adds 'polish' to edging, borders, containers, or hanging baskets! Brighten up your vegetable garden with Nasturtiums - they deter whiteflies and squash bugs. Can even be grown indoors in a sunny south-facing window. Never pamper your Nasturtiums with excess fertilizer - excess fertilizer will cause lots of green leaves and no blooms. They flower best in average garden soil with loose, light texture. Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming. Perennial in frost-free tropical climates. 'Nasturtium' comes from the Latin name for 'nose-twister', a reference to its peppery fragrance.
