basic information
Peach Melba nasturtium (Tropaeolum nanum) is a charming addition to gardens, offering creamy yellow to peach-colored blooms with vibrant red-orange centers that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its compact, mounding form makes it ideal for borders, containers, hanging baskets, or as a ground cover in rock and cottage gardens. The edible flowers and leaves, with a peppery flavor, enhance salads and garnishes, while the plant serves as a companion in vegetable gardens, repelling pests like aphids and supporting crops like beans and cucumbers.
