The leaves, flowers and seeds are edible, with the leaves having a peppery flavor which makes a great addition to your salads. The seeds were actually used as a pepper substitute during WWII, or you can pickle the seeds when they are still green.

How to grow nasturtium
Plant seeds directly outdoors in the spring. The seedlings do not transplant well into the garden when started indoors. Before sowing seeds, soak the flower seeds overnight in warm water. The next day, plant the flower seeds 1/2 inch deep in an area that gets at least 6 hours of direct sun each day. Have the soil worked so that it's fine and light. The flowers will appear 8 - 12 weeks after being sown from flower seeds It will tolerate most any soil type, but prefers not to be fertilized

The plant likes a full sun place in the garden in cooler climates. For the hottest regions, afternoon shade is preferable to plants. Tropaeolum Majus plants will grow anywhere as an annual, but they will only survive as a perennial in frost-free zones. Nasturtium vine does best when it is left alone
