Nasturtium Seeds Mix is composed of nasturtium seeds producing climbing vines and flowers of multiple colors (red, orange, yellow). The nasturtium vines can reach over 2 m, Nasturtiums are pollinator friendly and sacrificial plants that will attract aphids and caterpillars, luring them away from other plants in your garden. Nasturtium leaves and flowers are edible, and the nasturtium green seeds produced by the plants can be pickled just like capers. Nasturtiums are a must have for the organic garden.
