Know before you buy
Yes, Glorious Gleam nasturtiums are entirely edible. They offer a peppery, radish-like flavor that works well in salads, as a garnish, or infused into vinegars and oils.
Since these are vining plants that can reach up to three feet in length, they are best suited for containers where they can trail over the edge or garden beds where they have room to spread. Ensure you provide enough space for them to sprawl without crowding out smaller plants.
Yes, for the best results, plant them in a location that receives full sun. While they can tolerate some partial shade, they will produce the most vibrant, abundant blooms when given plenty of direct sunlight.
Yes, this variety is open-pollinated. This means that if you allow the plants to go to seed at the end of the season, you can collect the seeds and replant them next year, and they will grow true to the parent plant.
These are annuals that should be planted in the spring after the danger of frost has passed. They prefer soil that has warmed up, which encourages faster germination and healthier early growth.
