Eat the flowers, they are the best part. I even grew some strange black variety (which was really a dark red) in Colorado a couple years ago.
What other varieties are out there?

Someone told me (was it you, Erica?) about canning (pickling?) your own "capers" using nasturtium seeds. Especially useful for those of us in the Northern climates where the true caper bush wouldn't grow as easily. Has anyone done this?

We eat the flowers straight from the garden or in salads or for whatever platter tastes great but needs a colour boost and a bit of fun.
The leaves dry really quickly, you crumble them and store them in airtight jars and use them in a salt mix or "straight" to give an interesting peppery taste to food.
They grow fast, are beautiful, edible, fill spaces beautifully, climb when they have to.
Grow them.
