About This

• The varieties in 'Dwarf Compact Mixed' Nasturtium are half-hardy annuals offering summer through fall interest, typically blooming until the first frost. The plant produces an abundance of funnel-shaped red, orange, and yellow flowers.
• Borne on long stalks, the spice-scented blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden. The flowers and leaves are edible, having a mild, spicy flavor; and the peppery seedpods can be used similarly to capers or dried and ground for use as a culinary spice.
• Dwarf Compact Mixed' Nasturtium contains Tropaeolum majus varieties, also known as Indian Cress. The plants have a dwarf, bushy habit of rounded leaves and a fast growth rate.
• They fit nicely into small spaces but are shown to best effect when grouped or massed. They are ideal for containers and hanging baskets but also thrive in beds and borders and make an effective annual groundcover.
• Easy to grow and tolerant of neglect, nasturtium prefers full sun and average, loamy or sandy, slightly acidic (6.5 to 7.5), well-drained soils, but they grow well in poor soil and tolerate dry soil. They grow best in mild climates with sunny, cool summers; so, in hot climates, some shade may be beneficial, especially in the afternoon.
