Nasturtium is a super popular kitchen garden plant for good reasons. First off, the whole plant is edible; the leaves can be used fresh in salads, the flowers are edible, beautiful and spicy, and the fresh green seeds can be eaten fresh or pickled like capers. On top of that, the whole plant is beautiful and highly ornamental in the garden. The large lily pad shaped leaves stick straight up making a mounding type growth pattern, and if allowed to trail it’ll hang out of baskets or off of the side of your raised bed. One thing people tend to get wrong with nasturtium plants is overwatering them. They are considered an invasive species in California, the driest place in America! So consider that fact when choosing soil type and plant location in your garden. They need to have very well draining soil and very little water in order to thrive and produce flowers and large happy plants through the winter season.
We sell nasturtiums in 6 packs because they are commonly used to fill in spaces under plants like tomatoes and and planted along edges so they can spill over the sides of raised beds and out of pots. We consider them easy to plant companion plants that can be dotted around in your garden.

Plant Care
Plant Care
When your plant delivery arrives, make sure you water your new plants thoroughly with a light spray of water (none of this thumb over the hose stuff). We recommend planting them within 10 days of receiving them. If you do intent to wait to plant them, we recommend placing them in a shallow reservoir (like a baking pan) and filling it with half an inch of water so they can drink the water from below while you are at work and place them in an area with plenty of sun. When planting in your garden always add a dash of Organic granular fertilizer, and give them extra water during their first week in their new home, while they adjust. We recommend disturbing the root ball as little as possible during planting.
