Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Antique Victorian era catalogs featured nasturtiums in an astounding array of colors and shapes. Nasturtium Prince Henry of 1898 was described as "pale straw-yellow, heavily suffused with rose". This new variety has the same soft coloring, accented with splashes of raspberry red. A nostalgic rare flower.
