Capucine Dwarf Jewel Nasturtium

$4.50

An abundance of colourful flowers atop pretty green leaves. The whole plant is edible: the stems, leaves, flowers, and seed pods. The flowers add an exotic flourish to summer dishes, the leaves and stems pack a peppery punch. Mildly spicy, these edible double blooms display light yellow, orange and deep red petals. The charming foliage resembles tiny lily pads.  Lovely in beds and containers.

Price is for seed packets. Plants are available at store.
