Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus)
Nasturtium, hailing from South America, produces brilliant red, orange, and yellow blossoms with a peppery bite—perfect for spicing up appetizers and cheese plates. These vines grow vigorously but are not invasive, and trimming back runners controls their spread easily.
They attract predatory insects like lacewings and hoverflies, which prey on aphids hiding in leaves. Garnishing bruschetta with nasturtium flowers adds both vibrant color and zesty flavor that wows every guest!
