Growing: Nasturtium
 
Botanical Name: Tropaeolum majus
Life Cycle: annuals, tropicals, tender perennials
Planting Time: spring or summer
Height: 12" to 24"; climbers to 8' high
Exposure: full sun
Soil: poor, well-drained soil
Hardiness: zones 10-11
Bloom Time: late spring to early fall
Flower: shades of red, yellow, orange and cream
Foliage: green
Propagation: seeds
Suggested Use: beds, borders, mass plantings, fences, hanging baskets, fillers, and edgings.
Growing Hints: Sow seeds directly in ground about a week after your last frost date. Over fertilizing will result in lots of leaves but poor flowering. Plants thrive in poor, sandy soil.
Interesting Facts: Nasturtium's peppery-flavored flowers are good to eat and taste good in salads. The flower buds and seedpods are also edible. Pick them just before they ripen and store them in a jar full of vinegar for three days. Use as a substitute for capers.
