Easy Math:
basic information
Moonlight nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) adds a soft glow to gardens with its pale, creamy-yellow blooms that shine in low light. Its vibrant flowers and round, shield-like leaves create a charming ground cover or trailing accent in borders, containers, or hanging baskets. Both the peppery-flavored flowers and leaves are edible, enhancing salads and garnishes with a zesty kick. Nasturtiums also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, boosting garden biodiversity, while their scent can help deter pests, making them a natural companion plant.
