Sumptuous, glamorous, rich, almost-black nasturtium

Use as ground cover or in a container. It's good in salad and fantastic in smoked haddock fish cakes. Sow this in late spring for summer and autumn picking. It will lightly self-sow and will also attract white fly away from tomatoes and cucumbers.
