Tropaeolum majus

Nasturtium Alaska is a vigorous, easy-to-grow annual loved for its variegated green-and-cream leaves and bright, edible flowers in warm shades of yellow, orange, and red. Every garden should grow nasturtiums - they attract beneficial insects such as bees and ladybirds and make an excellent companion plant in the vegetable patch, helping to draw pests away from crops.

Both the leaves and flowers have a peppery, watercress-like flavour and are delicious added to salads, sandwiches, and summer dishes. Nasturtiums thrive in poor soils, making them ideal for pots, borders, and edges of beds where other plants may struggle.

Average number of seeds: 25

Open-pollinated, chemical-free seeds. Grown and saved in Wexford, Ireland. We only grow and save seeds from plants that were started from certified organic seeds.

Each seed packet includes growing tips and cooking suggestions inside.

  • Nasturtiums are quick and easy to grow. Sow the seeds in modular trays or directly into their final place in the garden. The seeds will germinate after 7 to 14 days and grow quickly from there. They need very little care. Keep soil moist, but do not feed them.

    Sow: March to August

    Plant out: April to September

    Harvesting time: May to November

  • The young leaves, stems, and flowers have a mustard-radish-like flavour, bringing a peppery bite to salads. They can also be tossed into stir-fries, risotto, and soup and added to a pesto. They're delicious with pasta, too! The seed heads can be pickled and used like capers.

    The fragrant petals can be used like saffron to colour rice and potatoes. They also make a beautiful garnish for salads and desserts. Some people use the petals to make tea with honey and a slice of lemon, which is good for the immune system, helps to relax and offers digestive support.
