Umuthi Nasturtium Alaska (Edible Flowers) Growing Seeds produce bold edible flowers and striking green-and-cream variegated leaves. The blooms range from sunny yellow to deep orange and red, while the flowers and young leaves add a peppery, mustard-like kick to salads, sandwiches, savoury plates, and garnishes.
This easy variety grows well in full sun to part shade and suits beds, pots, borders, and hanging baskets. It is a colourful, beginner-friendly choice for gardeners wanting edible flowers with ornamental foliage. Why we love it: Nasturtium Alaska is beautiful even before it flowers thanks to its variegated leaves.
It gives gardeners edible colour, peppery flavour, and a decorative plant that works just as well in containers as it does in garden beds.
