Nasturtium love
This seed packet image is one of many available here at Seed Art. Nasturtiums are tricky here in Maryland. We are simply too hot for too long. Nasturtiums twine into a tangle of lily-pad leaves and citrus reds, oranges, yellows, in cool climes. I imagine that even cool nights would work.
Renee's Garden, formerly Shepherd's Seeds, features a lovely variety of nasturtium varieties. Be sure to click into the fine photos of each variety so kindly and cleverly provided. Here are the colors I find especially delicious:
Order, all from Renee's Garden: Cherries Jubilee, Vanilla Blossom, Moonlight, Creamsicle.
Yummy. Did you know that nasturtiums are edible?

Nasturtiums do all too well in Seattle. I planted some last year that completely took over my patch of flowers in the raised bed. They also get nasty black aphids, which means they're not so appetizing. I have a few coming back that self-seeded. I love Moonlight - that very pale yellow. Empress of India is another one I've grown - dark red with dark green "lily pad" leaves.
Hi Mostly,
I love that pale yellow...gleams at dusk and into the evening.
