The Baby series features a non-trailing nasturtium with a distinctive dome shape that sets it apart from typical varieties. Baby Gold is a vibrant and floriferous addition to the compact nasturtium collection which boasts bright yellow-gold flowers and a uniform, mounded growth habit, making it an ideal choice for containers, window boxes, mixed arrangements, baskets, and small gardens. The petite, aromatic blooms measuring 2 inches (5 cm) are perfect for adding to salads or using as garnishes, while the dark sea-green leaves provide a delightful peppery flavor.
These plants bloom abundantly, with flowers standing upright from late spring until the first hard frost in the fall. Nasturtiums are known for attracting pollinators such as hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Additionally, they serve as a beneficial trap crop for aphids and effectively repel cucumber beetles, squash beetles, Mexican bean beetles, and whiteflies. They also make excellent companion plants for Brassicas (like cabbage, broccoli, and kale), cucumbers, melons, radishes, and tomatoes.
