Young Nasturtium leaves make a pleasant pepper substitute in pepper-restricted diets and have unusually high vitamin C content.

- Train vertically.
- Thrives in poor to average well draining soil
- Part shade or if planting in full sun, place some rocks around the base to keep roots cool
- Climber with strong vines up to 2 m/ 6 ft high; great for trellises, fences or poles.
