Edible Flowers with Peppery Flavor & Vibrant Color
The Nasturtium Baby Gold is a compact, easy-to-grow annual that delivers both ornamental beauty and culinary versatility. This charming variety produces masses of bright golden-yellow flowers and lily pad-shaped leaves throughout the growing season. Both the flowers and leaves are completely edible with a distinctive peppery, watercress-like flavor that adds zest to salads, garnishes, and specialty dishes.
Key Features
Edible flowers and foliage – Peppery, watercress-like flavor perfect for salads, garnishes, and culinary creations
Vibrant golden-yellow blooms – Cheerful flowers attract pollinators and add color from spring through frost
Compact growth habit – Bushy, mounding form ideal for containers, borders, and small spaces
Thrives in poor soil – Actually performs better in lean soil with less fertilizer
Heat and cold tolerant – Handles temperature extremes better than many annuals

Growing & Culinary Uses
Nasturtium Baby Gold excels in containers, window boxes, hanging baskets, and as an edging plant in vegetable or ornamental gardens. Plant in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil—avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil produces more leaves and fewer flowers. Harvest flowers and young leaves regularly to encourage continuous blooming and enjoy fresh in salads, as garnishes, or stuffed with herbed cheese for elegant appetizers.
