The cheerful mixture includes warm shades of yellow, gold, orange, red and cream, creating a vibrant display throughout the warmer months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike trailing Nasturtiums, Whirlybird forms a neat, bushy plant, making it particularly well suited to borders, edging, containers and productive garden beds. The flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, while the rounded foliage provides an attractive backdrop to the colourful blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the flowers and leaves are edible, with a distinctive peppery flavour. Flowers make a colourful garnish for salads and savoury dishes, while young leaves can be added to salads or used much like other peppery greens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to grow and quick to flower, Nasturtiums perform best in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
