Hummingbird Attractor

Because their nectar is exceptionally sweet (sucrose rather than fructose or glucose, and very concentrated), the flowers are large and in the yellow-red spectrum, nasturtiums are attractive to hummingbirds. Their long tongues and the nasturtiums' long nectar-rich spurs evolved together.

Butterfly Host Plant

Nasturtiums are butterfly host plants, attractive to many varieties as places to lay their eggs. Butterflies will lay their next brood's eggs often on the underside of nasturtium leaves, but sometimes on the top, hopefully hidden from predators

Deer Resistant

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum species)

Everyone loves nasturtiums, and having them on a list of deer-resistant annuals is a must. Their round, succulent leaves and colorful flowers fill the garden like few other plants can. Trailing varieties creep along the ground, while bush-forming varieties stay more compact.

Edible, Flower Seeds for Beds and Borders

Nasturtiums are a beautiful flowering plant that is easy to grow and wonderful to cook with. The whole plant is edible, from the flowers to the leaves and is packed full of flavour and beneficial vitamins and minerals.

Attracts Pollinators

Nasturtiums are plants that are often used as trap crops for attracting aphids or squash bugs. Nasturtium companion plants can draw such pests away from vegetable plants like tomato and squash. They also attract good bugs such as pollinators and hoverflies, a predator of common pests like aphids.
