🟠 If you grow different colours of nasturtium in the same garden, they will cross pollinate and you might get some surprising results (my grandmother used to have blue ones :P).

🟠 Nasturtiums are prone to aphid infestations and are sometimes used as a trap crop in vegetable gardens. A blast of water usually rids the plant of the pests (other alternative is you pressure-wash it XD, or just plant a borage or tomato tree beside it).
