Nasturtiums

RHS Genus Guide

Nasturtiums (Tropaeolum) are vibrant and versatile annual and perennial plants that may be bushy, trailing or climbing. They are grown for their boldly coloured flowers and attractive foliage. Annual nasturtiums, known for their long flowering season, are popular in both ornamental and edible gardens. They add a relaxed charm to beds, borders and containers, and provide pops of colour in vegetable plots. Perennial nasturtiums are very varied – some can be grown outdoors but others need protection. Many are climbers, and together they offer flowers in every season of the year.
