NASTURTIUM Alaska Mixed (tropaeolum majus)

Picture yourself admiring a Van Gogh – but instead of a night sky, there are marbled cream and emerald leaves dotted with bright cheery flowers instead. Oh, and you are in your backyard, not the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. All parts of these golden, orange and salmon plants are edible with a slightly peppery taste – but not as bitter as NYC real estate prices.
