Is this nasturtium safe for dogs and cats?
Yes. The ASPCA classifies Tropaeolum majus, the species of Jewel of Africa, as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. Toxicity is therefore marked FALSE and pet friendly is marked TRUE. Do not confuse garden nasturtium with watercress, sometimes called nasturtium in English, which is a different plant. Even a non-toxic plant may cause digestive discomfort when an animal eats a large amount. Fertilizers, pesticides, and growing media also carry their own risks. Keep seed packets and recently treated plants out of reach. If an animal consumes a substantial amount or develops unusual symptoms, contact a veterinarian and provide the name Tropaeolum majus along with the products applied. Pet-friendly status describes the plant itself, not every substance present during cultivation.
Are Jewel of Africa flowers edible?
Yes. W.H. Perron confirms that Jewel of Africa produces abundant edible flowers in a full range of colours, including unusual strawberry-red and bronze shades. They can decorate salads and provide the lively, peppery flavour typical of nasturtiums. Harvest only healthy, clean flowers and rinse them gently just before use. Eat only plants grown with products labelled for food crops. A plant purchased or treated strictly as an ornamental may have received products that are unsuitable for food. Try a small amount first if you are unfamiliar with the flavour. The edible field is therefore marked TRUE, but this botanical value does not replace checking the treatments actually applied during cultivation or guarantee that every decorative plant is suitable for eating.
