Nasturtium flowers are one of the most popular edible flowers grown in home gardens. The petals have a slight peppery taste, and the seeds and leaves are also edible! Not only are the flowers pretty, but Nasturtiums are also great companion plants!
They are also known to deter aphids, whiteflies, cucumber beetles & more. Nasturtiums should be planted in the spring for a "summer show". Plant in full sun, and in sandy, well-drained soil. Generally, the poorer the soil quality, the more flowers the plant will produce! Deadhead your plants regularly to encourage new blooms, all season long.
These flowers will self-seed resulting in more flowers for years to come! This fast-growing, vine-like, or "trailing" plant can easily reach 10 feet in length by the end of the growing season!

I ordered Red Fountain you sent Red Bamboo #381. The other order was Red Dragon, you sent Orange Bamboo #391. Toadstoolseeds.com sent them. I sent you an email about this earlier. Can you send the correct seeds?
I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
