Dwarf JewelThe Dwarf Jewel Nasturtium is an annual plant with dwarf flowers ranging from yellow to orange to red. This plant can help repel harmful pests, and the booms are also edible.
Harvesting: Though these blossoms do not last long as cut flowers, the entire plant is edible. Young leaves make excellent fresh greens, while the blossoms are often used as a garnish. Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, the round seeds will develop in pairs in the dried flower head. Gather them as soon as they easily come loose from the stem. Spread the seed out to dry completely. Store the seed in a cool, dry place. Notes:

The FDL Seed Library is a collection of open-pollinated and heirloom seeds that you can borrow to plant and grow at home. By saving seeds as a community we help create local seed stocks that are better acclimated to our climate and which support an abundant and genetically diverse landscape.
We ask that seeds are “returned” by harvesting seeds from a plant or two that you grow. Donated seeds will help to add diversity to our collection. Archives
