Growing Hints:
Sow seeds directly in ground about a week after your last frost date. Over fertilizing will result in lots of leaves but poor flowering. Plants thrive in poor, sandy soil.
Interesting Facts:
Nasturtium's peppery-flavored flowers are good to eat and taste good in salads. The flower buds and seedpods are also edible. Pick them just before they ripen and store them in a jar full of vinegar for three days. Use as a substitute for capers.
I have grown nasturtium in fertile soil and used a fertilizer and they flower even more greatly. I have tried growing in poor soil and they don't grow very well. It is true they don't do well when it hits 80 degrees. They come up quick and are a great money saver for the garden. They attract lots of aphids. I have planted cherry rose, gleam, jewel mix and they all grow well.
