The foliage of the Jewel Mix Nasturtium is equally attractive. The leaves are typically round or shield-shaped and have a medium to dark green color. They serve as a complementary backdrop to the vibrant flowers, enhancing the overall visual impact of the plant.

Its compact size and vibrant jewel-toned flowers make it ideal for adding a splash of color to gardens, containers, or hanging baskets.
