Nasturtiums

What a happy and content plant to have in the garden. Easy to grow, sows itself, and produces lovely hybrid plants. It simply asks for a bit of water now and again.

These two are almost a brownish bronze color.

"In addition to the more traditional hues of bright yellow and orange, the range of blossom colors that are available these days is exciting: "Empress of India" - brilliant vermilion red blooms; "Whirlybird" - shades of tangerine, soft salmon, deep mahogany and cherry rose; "Peach Melba" - the color of a cut white peach with an accent of raspberry in the throat; "Butter Cream" - soft cream toned colors in delicate double flowers. With names like those, no wonder Nasturtiums are so welcomed in the kitchen."
