Nasturtium – Bush Jewel Mix
$3.99
Nasturtium Jewel Mix plants reach a height of about 30 cm and produce beautiful flowers of 5 cm in diameter in different colors (red, yellow and orange). The flowers, buds, leaves and stems are all edible, with a peppery taste reminiscent of watercress. Easy to grow in the ground or in pots, nasturtiums grow well in rather poor soil and do not require special care.
