Nasturtium - Peach Melba

The Nasturtium Peach Melba, 'Tropaeolum minus', combines the peppery flavor and the cream petals with a throat of red raspberry for a real winner . Peach Melba's beautiful flowers are held above the foliage. Every salad should have edible Nasturtium and Viola flowers. The Peach Melba Nastutium has 2 to 21/2 inch flowers that bloom 6 weeks after sowing. Flower colors are cream/peach with raspberry red markings in the throat. They will bloom all season until fall. This Nasturtium prefer full sun but will withstand some shade. Nasturtiums perform well in bad soil, but is comfortable in average garden soil that is not overly fertile. When the blossom passes its peak, pinch off to the base of the stem. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date or fall plant in warmer climates. Nasturtiums are used for edging and borders. These plants will also deter whiteflies, squash bug, and rabbits. ... more info

 

Mache Corn Salad - Big Seeded The Mache Corn Salad Big Seeded, 'Valerianella locusta', has the mildest flavor and softest texture of any salad green. We chose the big-seeded Mache variety because it handles spring/summer heat without getting bitter. Great for both north and south gardens. Mache Corn Salad is cool season annual.
