A Parade of Color! Variegated Foliage and 4 Shades of Bright Bloom!
Nasturtium Jewel of Africa
Vines reach 4 to 5 feet long!
Yellow, cream, red, and peach-pink blooms tumble from baskets or weave through shrubbery!
One of the most elegant Nasturtiums we have ever grown, Jewel of Africa has richly-colored blooms in 4 colors and cream-striped foliage. Together they create a striking, almost wildly vibrant mix. And this 4- to 5-foot vine is just the right size to tumble from a hanging basket or twine up a small trellis or patio tub. They can even be allowed to trail along the ground, carpeting the garden in color!
Noth the blooms and the foliage are edible, with a delicious peppery flavor perfect for salads and garnishes. Best flowering is in cool weather, and they grow rapidly and easily from direct-sowing. Select a sunny spot in any garden soil, even poor dry ones. Pkt is 25 seeds.
