Deer & Rabbit Resistant
The peppery taste deters deer and rabbits from browsing, making nasturtiums excellent for gardens with wildlife pressure.
Certified Organic Heirloom
Fiesta Blend is a USDA certified organic heirloom variety, produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, supporting chemical-free gardening and preserving traditional varieties.
Versatile Growth Habit
Fiesta Blend can be grown as:
- Trailing: Cascade from hanging baskets and containers
- Climbing: Provide trellis for vertical growth
- Ground Cover: Sprawl along ground to fill spaces
- Edging: Border paths and beds
Drought Tolerant
Once established, nasturtiums are extremely drought tolerant, thriving in dry conditions, requiring minimal watering, and actually producing more flowers in lean, dry soil.
Ideal Garden Uses
- Edible Gardens: Essential for edible landscaping
- Container Gardens: Hanging baskets, pots, window boxes
- Vegetable Gardens: Companion plant and pest control
- Cottage Gardens: Informal, colorful plantings
- Ground Cover: Fill bare spots quickly

Companion Planting
Nasturtiums are excellent companions for tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, cabbage, radishes, fruit trees, and roses - attracting aphids away and deterring pests.
Perennial in Warm Climates
In USDA zones 10 and warmer, Fiesta Blend can be grown as a perennial, returning year after year. In colder zones, grow as an annual or bring container plants indoors.
