'Chameleon' Nasturtium Seeds

A unique color introduction with 'Chameleon' Nasturtium Seeds. Just like a chameleon, these exotic orchid-like blooms actually change color. The unique, ever-changing flowers are borne on compact plants that remain tidy and controlled, unlike some nasturtium varieties.

Easy for children and beginners, this half-hardy 'Chameleon' Nasturtium annual fits nicely in both cottage and exotic gardens. And since the edible flowers have a peppery flavor and make bright garnishes and bold, colorful additions to dishes, 'Chameleon' Nasturtium is always welcome in kitchen gardens, too. But nasturtium also provides a valuable service to the vegetable garden as a sacrificial crop, luring away aphids from vulnerable varieties, such as runner beans and French beans.

To sow 'Chameleon' Nasturtium seeds, pick a sunny spot, rake ground until soil is fine and crumbly, removing any weeds and stones. Sow in rows 12 inches apart and ¾ inch deep, or scatter seeds, cover lightly with soil, and water in. Water regularly until 'Chameleon' Nasturtium plants are fully established. Once established, 'Chameleon' Nasturtium require little attention.
