Name: Nasturtium Botanical Name: Tropaeolum majus Soil: Average Exposure: Full sun Bloom Time and Color: Yellow, orange, and red flowers from summer to fall. Description: A fast-gr owing annual from Peru, which has pale green, umbrella-shaped leaves with long stems. Flowers are produced in summer and autumn and come in shades of orange, red and yellow. Leaves and flowers are edible. Great added to salads or used as garnish. Nasturtiums may not look it, but they make nice cut flowers in a small bouquet, and you can't beat them for tropical color. Keep a nice fragrance also. Care: Nasturtiums actually prefer poor soils. If given very good soil they will tend to produce very nice foliage and sparse flowers. These plants may reseed themselves.
