The Vesuvius flower is light red, and both the rounded leaves and spurred flowers are edible. These climbing vines are annuals native to South America. They are a versatile flower for the garden either climbing a post or cascading from a window box or hanging basket. Nasturtiums are used as companion plants for the vegetable garden. It is said that the peppery-flavored leaves ward off many insects.
Nasturtium likes a full sun place in the garden in cooler climates. For the hottest regions, afternoon shade is preferable. Tropaeolum Vesuvius plants will grow anywhere as an annual, but they will only survive as a perennial in frost-free zones. Before sowing Climbing Nasturtium seeds, soak the seeds overnight in warm water. The next day, plant the flower seeds 1/2 inch deep in soil that is weed-free and has been worked until fine and light. They will flower in 8 - 12 weeks after being sown from flower seeds
