Annual. FULL SUN TO PARTIAL SHADE. Native to Columbia and Bolivia, nasturtiums were introduced into Europe in the 1600's where their climbing habit could be used to hide almost anything. They also quickly established themselves as a culinary delight - their seeds being used as capers and their leaves used in salads. Bernard McMahon introduced the nasturtium into the United States in 1806. In 1931, the first semi-double nasturtium was discovered outside of a Mexican convent by John Bodger who cultivated it and named its descendants "GOLDEN GLEAM".
