Cherry Rose Nasturtium
Nasturtium leaves are also edible.
The Nasturtium Cherry Rose Jewel, 'Tropaeolum minus', has the strong cherry rose color that will set this Nasturtium apart from others.
Dreary winter?
The cherry rose produces 2 to 21/2 inch flowers that bloom 6 weeks after sowing.
Nasturtiums are used for edging and borders.
These plants will also deter whiteflies, squash bug, and rabbits.
Every salad should have edible Nasturtium and Viola flowers in it!
In a south window, grow these cheery flowers.

Ladybugs are found in the US, mostly in the western states of Nevada and California. These 1/2 inch long beetles feed on whiteflies, mealybugs, scales, and aphids. Keep ladybugs around by spraying a little sugar water on a few leaves.
