Quickly sow nasturtiums

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) not only blooms beautifully in orange, white, yellow or various shades of red – the flowers, leaves and still green seed capsules are a delicious delicacy.

This fast-growing, easy-care plant can be sown until the end of July. Sow the seeds one to two centimeters deep in the soil and keep the soil moist. Nasturtiums add a delicious, cress-like, piquant flavor to salads and dishes. This ornamental and useful plant grows creeping or climbing and is undemanding in terms of soil, but does need sufficient light. If it is placed in too dark a location, it will produce more leaves but fewer flowers. If the flowers are regularly removed, nasturtiums will bloom prolifically until the frost. In the fall, the seeds can be collected for sowing the following year. There are also great bushy forms that thrive in window boxes, tubs, or hanging baskets.
