Herb
Jewel Mix
B tier
Jewel Mix is a dwarf, non-trailing nasturtium blend in jewel-tone flowers—gold, orange, red, and cream on compact plants. Leaves stay relatively small; pepper heat is medium, flowers mild-sweet at the throat. Perfect for containers and border fronts where sprawling vines would overwhelm. Harvest mixed colours for salad scatter and canapé tops.
