These beloved giant Nasturtiums ramble over fences, climb up shrubs, sprawl over rocks, and cascade from baskets and windowboxes… unique mix of large-bloomed, colorful flowers on very vigorous vines.

This is a trailing vine which can be trained to grow upwards on a support or allowed to loll over the sides of containers and across the garden floor. ... with 2½-inch blooms of red, orange, yellow, and cream. … Best flowering is from early summer right up to frost, especially ... in part shade farther south and west. Nasturtiums are attractive to pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds, so they make splendid companions to vegetables and herbs. And they are an aphid trap plant: if you have a valuable plant that is being attacked by aphids, surround it with Nasturtiums and the aphids will leave it alone (though the Nasturtiums will suffer!). This plant is an invaluable pest repellant in any setting.

Direct-sow the seeds in well-drained soil, even poorly fertile areas, and do NOT overfertilize. (You will get plenty of leaves but fewer flowers in enriched soil!) Park's Fragrant Giants grow rapidly and easily, filling garden or container with brilliant color in no time! Pkt is 50 seeds.

Flavor: Peppery
With its bold colors and spicy flavor, it's hard to ignore nasturtium, an annual that originated in South America. With a flavor akin to watercress, the pungent-flavored blossoms and green lily pad–shaped leaves can be used in salads and are said to have exceptional antioxidant qualities. Excellent served in a salad, or mixed with softened butter to melt over steamed vegetables or fish.
