Nasturtiums are annual flowers.
They are hardy for my region
in Eastern Quebec.
They were my Mom's favorite,
She planted them each year.
Towards the Fall, the flowers turn to seeds.
The seeds can be dried and planted
directly in the ground the next Spring
after the danger of frost is past.
Nasturtiums can tolerate poorer soil.
They can be planted directly in the ground,
also perfect for edging, hanging baskets,
and beautiful when grown in containers
for a patio or balcony garden.
Nasturtium leaves and petals are edible
and will add flavour and colour to any salad.
I like to use Terracotta pots, A natural, clay pot retains moisture, keeps plants at their healthiest. |
