Yes. Flowers and leaves of common garden nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus) are edible and have a mildly peppery, watercress-like flavor. They can be added to salads and used as colorful food garnishes. Use correctly identified, pesticide-free plants intended for edible use.
Soaking Nasturtium seeds in lukewarm water for several hours before planting can help soften their hard outer seed coats. This step is optional, but it may support more even germination. Plant the seeds after soaking.
Excessively rich soil and high-nitrogen fertilizer can encourage leafy growth instead of flowering. Grow Nasturtiums in moderately fertile, well-drained soil and provide adequate sunlight to support better flower production.
