Cherry Rose Nasturtium
Tropaeolum majus nanum. Dwarf and edible. This vibrant, mounding Nasturtium produces lovely rose coloured flowers with a yellow eye, appealing to both the gardener and pollinators. Flowers are edible with a tangy, peppery taste. Use in salads, garnish your plates, or stuff with cream cheese like squash flowers. Easy to grow, ornamental, edible, extremely vibrant! Loved by many and are considered to also aid in deterring pests from gardens. These low maintenance plants are also a great solution in poor, dry locations and do best if just left to naturally grow. Approx. 40 seeds/pkg.
