Nasturtium Seeds - Peach Melba
This edible Peach Melba Nasturtium blurs the line between beauty and utility. Tropaeolum majus ‘Peach Melba Nasturtium’ bursts with creamy, butter-yellow blooms splashed in a soft crimson blush at the throat—like a painter’s stroke of sunlight and spice. Compact and trailing, these cheerful plants spill from containers, raised beds, and borders, drawing bees and hummingbirds while lending a delicate, peppery zest to salads and garnishes.
Leaves and flowers alike are edible, their flavor reminiscent of watercress with a hint of sweetness. In bloom, they turn any dish into a summer feast for the eyes. The rounded, lotus-like foliage forms a lush green canopy that remains vibrant even through midsummer heat.
First introduced by British breeders in the late 20th century, ‘Peach Melba’ quickly became a cottage garden favorite for its harmonious color balance and tidy 10–12 inch habit. A staple for edible landscapes and ornamental gardeners alike, this variety embodies the charm of heirloom nasturtiums—old-world grace, easy vigor, and flavor worth celebrating.
