Cultivation method:
Nasturtiums prefer well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Plant them in full sun for best blooms, although they will tolerate partial shade. Sow seeds on the surface, press them lightly to anchor them to the soil, and maintain consistent moisture. Germination usually occurs in 7 to 12 days. These plants can be trained on trellises or left free to cover the soil.
Uses and benefits:
Nasturtium flowers provide a peppery, crunchy flavor, reminiscent of watercress, making them perfect for salads, soups, stir-fries, and for garnishing plates. The leaves, also edible, add an interesting visual and taste touch to dishes. In addition to their culinary qualities, nasturtiums attract pollinators while repelling certain pests, thus promoting a healthy garden.
