This new compact Nasturtium has vibrant orange blooms and uniform, mounded habit, making it a winner planted in containers, window boxes, mixed combinations, baskets, and small space gardens. The petite 2″ (5 cm) aromatic flowers are perfect sprinkled in salads or used as garnishes. The dark sea-green leaves have a peppery flavour. Attracts butterflies and bees.
The beautiful Nasturtium flowers are pollinator magnets. The plants make a super trap crop for aphids, and they repel cucumber beetles, squash beetles, Mexican bean beetles, and whiteflies. It is a beneficial companion plant for Brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, kale, etc.) cucumbers, melons, radishes, and tomatoes.
