Tropaeolum Double Gleam - Dwarf Nasturtium Seeds in Mix

The Double Gleam Nasturtium, also known as Tropaeolum majus, is a vigorous annual that quickly forms a wide carpet. Its edible flowers are available in a mix of colours ranging from yellow to red to orange. Very easy to grow, you can combine it with more traditional varieties or with other annuals such as Cosmos sulphureus or Coleus skyfire.

Originally from South America, Nasturtium produces beautiful flowers in bold colours, ranging from yellow to red, and has round, fresh leaves.

Nasturtium has everything going for it: it is easy to sow, grows quickly, flowers from June until the first frost, spreads widely to cover the ground, creates a flowery border or climbs trellises. It also grows very well in pots on balconies and terraces.

All parts of the plant are edible: the leaves and flowers in salads, as well as the seeds, pickled in vinegar like capers. It does attract aphids, which are fond of it. However, do not deprive yourself of this beautiful plant: in the vegetable garden and orchard, it is an advantage as it acts as a diversion (while also providing valuable food for ladybird larvae) and thus protects your crops.
