Nasturtiums have those beautiful lily pad leaves and sunny tubular flowers. I planted nasturtiums all throughout my vegetable garden last year. Big mistake though! They attract aphids which inevitably invite ants. One big sticky party. This year I've decided to just keep them in containers and allow them to spill over. This is the kind of charm that nasturtiums have always possessed in my mind anyway. I found the self seeded seedlings throughout my garden and coerced them all into this planter. They look happy enough. Plant them in full sun and treat them like an annual...however, you might find a few pop up the next year.
