HOMESTEAD HOW-TO
These fast-growing flowers thrive in poor soil, require little watering, and flourish in garden beds, containers, or even hanging baskets.
They work well alongside vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and beans by attracting beneficial insects and keeping harmful ones far away.
They act as a “trap crop,” attracting aphids and other pests away from more vulnerable plants like tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce.
Their nectar-rich flowers provide an important food source, encouraging pollinators to visit your garden regularly.
By planting nasturtiums, you create a balanced ecosystem where nature takes care of pest control for you.
