basic information
Vesuvius nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) is a vibrant addition to gardens, with its salmon orange blooms and lush, rounded leaves. It serves as a versatile ornamental, brightening borders, containers, and hanging baskets with its unique color. The flowers and leaves are edible, adding a peppery flavor to salads or garnishes. Nasturtiums also act as a natural pest repellent, attracting aphids away from other plants, making them a valuable companion in vegetable gardens.
