Nasturtiums are my favorite flowers. I had 5 varieties growing in my yard last year! They’re a great cool weather plant for the beginning gardener. They are a low care plant. Nasturtiums are some of my favorite flowers because I’m not able to do a lot of garden care most of the year. The seeds germinate quickly and the plants don’t take a lot of time to establish themselves. If you plan on having this along with vegetables, you may need to trim your nasturtiums back once in awhile.
A neighbor of mine planted nasturtiums in her raised bed and was surprised how quickly the spread. They’re very easy to remove. All parts of the nasturtium plants are edible. I make jelly with the flowers. Some people enjoy them in salads
They’re a great all around plant. In this photo they’re being used as companion plants to a vegetable plot at a local community garden:
