Instructions:
Nasturtiums are pretty hardy and can tolerate poorer soils or watering. They prefer cooler weather and don't tolerate hot weather as well, so they're best sown in early spring or fall.
This variety is a dwarfed variety and doesn't require as much light. The entire plant(except the roots) is edible and can be used in salads or cooking!
