Yes, the flowers of Nasturtium majus 'Crime Scene' are edible and can add a peppery flavor and beautiful color to salads and other dishes.
Nasturtium majus 'Crime Scene' prefers a location with full sun for the most abundant flowering. Partial shade might result in fewer blooms.
Water regularly until the plants are established. Once they are mature, they are relatively drought-tolerant, but consistent moisture will promote better flowering.
Absolutely. Their vigorous trailing growth makes them ideal for containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes.
A common pest is aphids. You can try spraying them off with water or using insecticidal soap. Since the flowers are edible, it's best to avoid harsh chemical pesticides.
This can happen if the soil is too rich or if the plants are over-fertilized. Nasturtiums often bloom best in average to poor soil and prefer full sun.
You can sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost, or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
Ensure seeds are planted at the correct depth, soil is kept consistently moist, and temperature is within the optimal range (15-25°C).
Nasturtiums may produce fewer flowers if planted in overly rich soil or if over-fertilized. Ensure the plant receives full sun and avoid excessive feeding.
This can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings and ensure the pot or garden bed has adequate drainage.
A strong jet of water can dislodge aphids. For persistent infestations, consider using insecticidal soap or encouraging natural predators like ladybugs.
