This plant is drought tolerant and reseeds itself. It is invasive in northern California. If planted in the ground, it is great near vegetables like tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, pumpkins and kale. Nasturtium is a hearty plant that attracts pests like aphids, white fly and snails so that it takes the heat off all your lovely vegetables, since they prefer this plant a lot more. Also, when this plant mulches, it provides the things your vegetable bed needs like calcium, nitrogen, potassium and more. Would be excellent beneath soft fruit trees.
