Also known as Indian Cress, nasturtium is a valuable multipurpose flower for the garden or landscape. Alaska is a particularly beautiful variety of nasturtium, producing a mixture of vibrant red, orange, yellow, and cream-colored flowers atop striking variegated foliage. Plants form nice 12-14" mounds with profuse blooms making them an excellent option for hanging baskets, borders, or ground cover. Flowers and leaves are both edible, with a peppery flavor that adds a nice pop to salads. Nasturtium is an excellent flower for children's gardens as the large seeds are easy-to-handle and plants are low-maintenance and bloom quickly. Nasturtium is also reported to trap aphids while repelling a variety of other common garden pests including whiteflies, cucumber beetles, potato beetles, squash beetles and Mexican bean beetles. 25 seeds per packet.
