This dwarf variety, with its compact habit, is perfect for growing in pots or window boxes. From July to October, it produces an abundance of flowers in shades ranging from yellow to dark red.
Nasturtium contains antibacterial substances that boost the immune system and help cure flu and colds. It is anti-inflammatory, and is recommended for treating inflammation of the kidneys, intestines, ear and tonsils. It also has expectorant properties, helping to clear nasal and bronchial secretions. Nasturtium seeds are a highly effective antibiotic against micro-organisms such as staphylococcus, salmonella and streptococcus. Fresh juice from the plant can be used to combat urinary tract and bronchial infections, at a dose of 30-50 g per day. Leaves and flowers can be eaten raw in cases of avitaminosis.
