TotS Ediblossom Nasturtium Baby Red
The Baby series features a non-trailing nasturtium with a distinctive dome shape that is uncommon among nasturtiums. This exciting and floriferous addition to the compact Nasturtium series showcases rich red flowers and a uniform, mounded growth habit, making it an excellent choice for containers, window boxes, mixed arrangements, baskets, and small gardens. The petite 2-inch (5 cm) aromatic blooms are perfect sprinkled in salads or used as garnishes, while the dark sea-green leaves offer a peppery zing.
The plants bloom profusely and the flowers remain upright facing from late spring until first hard frost in the fall. Nasturtiums are known for drawing in pollinators such as hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. The beneficial insect plants serve as a great trap crop for aphids and effectively repel cucumber beetles, squash beetles, Mexican bean beetles, and whiteflies. They also make a valuable companion plant for Brassicas (such as cabbage, broccoli, and kale), cucumbers, melons, radishes, and tomatoes.
