Nasturtium 'Spitfire'

'Spitfire' is an heirloom nasturtium from 1897. This trailing type has brilliant scarlet-orange flowers that bloom well above the blue-green leaves.

Nasturtium 'Spitfire' is stunning on fences and trellises. You can also allow it to trail along the ground, weaving around other plants. Trailing nasturtiums were popular long before dwarf varieties first appeared.

Because of the abundance of flowers, leaves, and seeds, 'Spitfire' is our favorite nasturtium for culinary and medicinal use.
