Nasturtium is known for its distinctly peppery flavor similar to watercress, where all parts are edible - leaves, flowers, and seeds - making it perfect for adding spicy zest to salads and garnishes. This versatile plant serves dual purposes as both an edible herb and colorful flower garden addition, providing bright splashes of color while supplying peppery leaves for culinary use. Perfect for herb gardens, container growing, or mixed flower borders where edible flowers and leaves are desired. Plant in well-draining soil in full sun, spacing 20-25cm apart for optimal growth. Feed monthly during growing season with a balanced fertilizer to encourage continuous leaf and flower production.
