Description
Nasturtium, belonging to the Tropaeolum genus, is a versatile flowering plant prized for its vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers in hues of red, orange, and yellow. This variety is low growing and mounding rather than trailing, and has bright pink-red cherry coloured flowers.
With round, disc-like leaves and a trailing or upright growth habit, these annual plants are commonly cultivated in gardens and landscapes worldwide. Nasturtiums are not only cherished for their ornamental beauty but also for their culinary uses; both the flowers and leaves add a peppery and slightly spicy flavor to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. Furthermore, Nasturtium plants attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, fostering biodiversity in garden environments and serving as natural insect repellents with their pungent scent.
