Nasturtium Flower seed mix
This beautiful annual flower is edible, a wonderful companion plant to keep pests away from your main garden staples, a ground cover, a garnish for food, and a bright and cheery accent to any yard! They have a taste similar to radishes and are rich in vitamin C. They are extremely easy to grow and low maintenance. These grow fast and are absolutely loaded with flowers. With this mix, you will have reds, yellows, oranges, deep reds, and blooms that have multiple colors. Some of these seeds will sprout, as usual, and some will vine, but all will be amazing to look at.
These are drought-tolerant and thrive in poor-quality soil. We grow these every year as they deter the bad bugs from the garden. These do great at deterring leaf miners away from your leafy greens, as well as attracting beneficial insects.
