About Nasturtium Seeds - Indian Chief

Tropaeolum majus

Seed Type Heirloom Seed, Open Pollinated Seed
Also known as Indian Cress, Monks Cress

Gorgeous, bold red blooms of Nasturtium Indian Chief are offset by dark green foliage. Nasturtiums have been known to act as Perennials in warmer climates but are very tender to cold. Easy to grow and low maintenance, Nasturtiums really take care of themselves!

Beautiful and beneficial, Nasturtiums are often planted as companions to vegetables as they can help to repel harmful pests. And did we mention, the blooms are edible?

Be sure to soak your Nasturtium seeds overnight (about 12 hours) to help seedlings break through the tough outer shell.
