Nasturtiums are from the Brassicaceae family and provide great cut flowers. It is an attractive, edible plant that tastes peppery or a little like mustard. It can be grown in the ground or in a pot. 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 as a groundcover beneath soft fruit trees.
This plant attracts the Cabbage White butterfly. Miss a Butterfly of the Month presentation? Follow our videos on Youtube.
