Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Not creamy yellow with peach markings, but true sunny peach with the slightest hint of pink make this Nasturtium an exceptional guest wherever you plant it. It’s mounding and not vining, so you won’t have to worry that it will take over. Totally carefree, of course, and gorgeous with Anthriscus sylvestris ‘Raven’s Wing’. Makes a beautiful addition to the veggie or herb garden – the leaves and flowers are edible! Self-sows so you always have new babies.
