Nasturtium (Tropaeolum)

Nasturtiums are really a must have in the (vegetable) garden. The cheerful flowers in yellow, orange, red and white tones contrast beautifully with their large leaves. The flowers and leaves are also edible, they give a salad a cheerful touch. Tropaeolum has a spicy, peppery flavor.

Nasturtium is also a natural pest repeller. For example, the nasturtium keeps snails at bay and the plant attracts aphids, so that they do not settle on your vegetables (for example zucchini, lettuce or beans).

Tropaeolum combines well with Nicotiana, Impatiens, Consolida and vegetables in the garden.
