Garden Nasturtium, Indian Cress
The saying "Be nasty to Nasturtiums" reflects the type of neglectful care these fast-growing, versatile plants thrive on.
Nasturtium, as a common name, refers to a genus of roughly 80 species of annual and perennial herbaceous flowering plants Tropaeolum ("Trophy"), one of three genera in the family Tropaeolaceae.
Nasturtiums attract hummingbirds and bees. Some gardeners use nasturtiums in the vegetable garden as a trap crop for black aphids.

Nasturtiums grow very well in poor soils, and like dry soils. So you can plant these versatile flowers in areas where other flowers and vegetables would fare poorly.

Nasturtium The dwarf, bushy nasturtiums add rainbows of cheerful color in annual beds and borders. Use the trailing forms on low fences or trellises, on a gravelly or sandy slope, or in a hanging container.
Nasturtium (Tropaeolum). 5-15 feet. A few nasturtiums truly climb. T. majus 'Fordhook Favorite' is a vigorous climber, as is T. peregrinum, often called canary bird flower because of its feathery bright yellow flowers.
Nasturtiums are perfect for introducing kids (and beginners of any age) to gardening. The seeds are very large making them easy for smaller children to manipulate. The plants germinate quickly, grow rapidly and have large showy flowers.
The true nasturtium or Indian Cress cultivated in gardens as a creeper has brilliant orange-red flowers and produces the seeds which serve as a substitute for capers in pickles.
Description:
Nasturtium has a semi-vining growth habit where it prefers to creep and crawl with some climbing.
