Description

Double Gleam Nasturtiums, scientifically known as Tropaeolum majus, are a variety of nasturtium known for their vibrant, ruffled, and fully double flowers that resemble small roses. These flowers come in an array of colors including bright yellows, oranges, reds, and sometimes even bi-colors, making them a popular choice for gardeners looking to add a splash of color to their landscapes. Unlike many other flowering plants, Double Gleam nasturtiums thrive in poor soil conditions; in fact, too rich a soil can lead to more foliage than blooms. They are also well-loved for their ease of growth, requiring only full sun or partial shade to flourish, making them ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners. Beyond their ornamental value, Double Gleam nasturtiums have several practical uses. Both the flowers and leaves are edible, offering a peppery flavor that can enhance salads, garnishes, or even be used in cooking. They are rich in vitamin C and have been used traditionally for their medicinal properties, including as a natural antibiotic. Additionally, these plants act as excellent companions in the garden; they repel pests like aphids, whiteflies, and squash bugs, making them beneficial when planted alongside vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and brassicas. Their trailing habit also makes them perfect for hanging baskets, ground cover, or to cascade over walls, providing both beauty and utility in gardening spaces.
