Tropaeolum majus (Nasturtium, Single Mixed)
Nasturtiums are shiny, cheerful little flowers that even the Grinch couldn't resist. Tropaeolum majus has given rise to a slew of cultivars, including climbing and dwarf bushy varieties. Both have wavy-margin rounded or kidney-shaped leaves. The umbrella-like leaves are pale green and borne on long petioles. The petals on the flowers are normally five. Perfect choice for hanging baskets.
