Nasturtium 'Milkmaid' seeds from Thompson & Morgan offer a unique twist on a garden classic. Unlike the vibrant oranges and reds typically associated with nasturtiums, 'Milkmaid' boasts delicate, creamy-white flowers that bring a touch of sophistication to any outdoor space. These blooms are not only visually appealing but also edible, adding a peppery zest to salads and other culinary creations.
Easy to grow from seed, 'Milkmaid' nasturtiums are an excellent choice for beginner gardeners. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, quickly establishing themselves and producing an abundance of flowers throughout the summer months. Their trailing habit makes them ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, and ground cover, providing versatility in your garden design.
Beyond their aesthetic and culinary uses, nasturtiums are also beneficial companion plants. They attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to a healthy garden ecosystem. Furthermore, they can act as a trap crop, drawing aphids away from more vulnerable plants. 'Milkmaid' nasturtiums are a beautiful and practical addition to any garden, offering beauty, flavor, and ecological benefits. Enjoy these unique flowers in your garden this season!
These seeds are perfect for gardeners looking to add a unique and elegant touch to their flower beds, containers, or even vegetable gardens. The 'Milkmaid' variety's creamy white blooms offer a softer, more sophisticated look compared to traditional nasturtiums, while still providing the same easy-to-grow nature and edible qualities.
