Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We previously offered this perennial Nasturtium as the clone 'Ken Aslet' which blooms in midsummer but this never flowers until fall so this the current accepted name. Vigorous vine with tubular orange flowers flaring yellow. Tasty flowers and edible tubers which are eaten like potatoes.
