Tropaeolum majus
Warm butterscotch colors in the widely adored nasturtium are not only a treat for the eyes, but for the palate, too! Use the peppery flowers as a beautiful salad or dessert garnish. Short plants are ideal for containers or the front of the garden or border. Usually grown as an annual; perennial in USDA zones 10 and warmer. Fairly drought tolerant once established. Plants grow up to 10″-12″ tall and wide and produce flowers that bloom from late spring to frost. Prefers full to partial sun exposure. Attracts pollinators and is rabbit and deer resistant. Botanical Interests’® Butterscotch Nasturtium Seeds have been verified by The Non-GMO Project.
Outdoors: Sow 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date. In mild climates, sow in fall for winter bloom. Ideal soil temperature for germination is 55°–65°F.
Indoors: Sow 2-4 weeks before your average last frost date, although not recommended, as roots are sensitive to transplant disturbance; sow in biodegradable pots that can be directly planted in the ground.
