Their bold colour, manageable growth habit and culinary versatility make Nasturtiums an excellent addition to edible gardens, borders, raised beds and containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the flowers and young leaves are edible, with a fresh, peppery flavour often compared with watercress. The flowers are generally a little milder and more delicate, making them particularly useful when you want to add both colour and a savoury bite to a dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEdible Flowers, Leaves \u0026amp; Young Seed Pods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFresh Nasturtium flowers can be used whole or separated into petals for salads, sandwiches, platters, canapés and savoury dishes. Their vivid colour makes them particularly effective as an edible garnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYoung leaves have a stronger peppery flavour and can be added to salads, wraps and sandwiches or blended into herb sauces and pesto-style preparations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unopened flower buds and immature green seed pods are also edible. Young seed pods can be pickled and used as a tangy caper-style condiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact Nasturtiums for Pots \u0026amp; Garden Beds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis compact type develops a bushy habit rather than the long trailing growth associated with climbing Nasturtiums, making it particularly useful for patio pots, raised beds, garden borders and smaller edible gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNasturtiums flower best with plenty of light and freely draining soil. They generally perform well without heavy feeding, as excessively rich soil or high-nitrogen fertiliser can encourage abundant leafy growth at the expense of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEasy to Grow from Large Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNasturtiums are fast-growing annuals and are best direct sown into their final growing position where practical. Their large seeds are easy to handle and should be planted approximately \u003cstrong\u003e10–15mm deep\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer to raise seedlings first, individual pots are preferable to crowded communal trays because Nasturtiums can be sensitive to unnecessary root disturbance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder suitable conditions, germination generally occurs in approximately \u003cstrong\u003e7–14 days\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSuitable for Containers \u0026amp; Edible Gardens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNasturtiums grow well in full sun to partial shade with moderate moisture and reliable drainage. In particularly hot Australian conditions, light afternoon shade can help reduce heat stress and prolong flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor container growing, a free-draining mix can be adjusted with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/vermiculite-growing-medium\"\u003eVermiculite Growing Medium\u003c\/a\u003e where additional moisture retention is useful, while avoiding an overly wet growing mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHarvest Regularly for Continued Flowers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegular harvesting and deadheading can help maintain flowering while conditions remain favourable. If you want immature seed pods for culinary use, leave selected flowers on the plant after flowering so young green pods can develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith edible flowers, leaves, buds and immature seed pods from one compact plant, Nasturtiums are one of the most versatile edible flowers for home gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ozsprout","offers":[{"title":"1g","offer_id":42801955700979,"sku":"NASTURTIUMFLOWERSEEDS-1G","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20g","offer_id":42801955733747,"sku":"NASTURTIUMFLOWERSEEDS-20G","price":9.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":42801955766515,"sku":"NASTURTIUMFLOWERSEEDS-50G","price":18.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":42801955799283,"sku":"NASTURTIUMFLOWERSEEDS-100G","price":30.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":42801955832051,"sku":"NASTURTIUMFLOWERSEEDS-250G","price":65.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":42801955864819,"sku":"NASTURTIUMFLOWERSEEDS-500G","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/1446\/5779\/files\/nasturtium-edible-flowers-seeds_1da5809a-7a8b-4c30-805d-5732456336a3.webp?v=1759265579","url":"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/nasturtium-edible-flower-seeds","provider":"OzSprout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
