"I planted these in a row beside my tomatoes to keep bugs away, but I couldn't resist cutting them for indoor arrangements. They smelled wonderful in combination with other flowers, and they bloomed continuously through the season.
I would highly recommend these for border plants, as they were covered in blooms which hid a lot of the greenery. They are also very easy to start from seed directly in your garden."

"I plant nasturtiums in my raised Square Foot Garden for natural pest control and while I can't attest to how well it may or may not have done that, I can attest to the lovely and vigorous nature of this flower.
Started from seed, there is a little wait involved and the plants seems to stay just a small cluster of leaves for longer than other nasturtiums, but then it suddenly just takes off and produces flowers fast. The colors are true and vibrant, creating a bright focal point in the vegetable garden."
