Amazon Jewel Climbing Nasturtium Flower Seeds

Amazon Jewel drapes the garden in color from leaf to flower. Cream-splashed, lily-pad foliage threads through a vining display of scented blossoms in pumpkin, peachy rose, ruby, gold, and pale lemon.

Let the 4–6-foot vines climb a fence or short trellis, weave through a bare patch, or spill from a large container. The varied flowers shine like warm gemstones against the marbled leaves, creating a lush effect with very little fuss.
