Herb
Bush Nasturtium
B tier
Bush nasturtium stays compact and mounding instead of racing into long vines—easier in small beds and mixed planters. Flower and leaf flavour remain classic pepper-cress; yield per plant is lower than trailing types but tidier. Edge kitchen gardens with bush types for grab-and-go garnish without path invasion.
