About this Kit You can live pretty much anywhere from Antarctica to the subtropics and still grow and enjoy Nasturtiums! With the ability to thrive across vastly different climates, Tropaeolum majus (better known as common or garden nasturtium), brings its unique beauty to yards, trellises, and planter boxes from areas with punishing, near arctic-level winter temperatures (-50degF) to regions at the opposite extreme, in the warmest range of all growing zones. This amazing flexibility is just the beginning of the many commendable qualities of the humble nasturtium. There are approximately 200 nasturtium seeds included in this Grow Kit. That is enough seed to plant an area of roughly 225-square feet. Getting to Know Nasturtiums! It’s hard not to love Tropaeolum majus — better known as the lovely, easy-going, and cheerful common Nasturtium! This is a marvelously colorful flower, pretty to look at and spicy-sweet to eat. Nasturtiums present many appealing qualities — from their charming aesthetics to great flexibility in uses. Nasturtiums can populate flower beds and flower arrangements, provide pollinator habitat, and even add a delicious peppery spiciness and spot of color to salads. All this, plus they have a nearly effortless ability to thrive in all kinds of growing situations and climates. Nasturtiums feature showy, funnel-shaped flowers which enchant all kinds of pollinators, from honeybees to hummingbirds. They are a host plant for many butterfly species, which love to flit between flowers and hide eggs and cocoons beneath nasturtium’s large wagon-wheel leaves. The flowers show off a great variety of colors, from orange to yellow to butter cream to rich reds and maroons — colors which change and migrate across the flower’s five petals as the blooms age, mottling into striking tie dye-like designs.
