Native to the Andean regions of South America, the Jewel nasturtium is a vibrant and abundant variety, renowned for its luminous flowers and delicately veined, rounded leaves. Traditionally used for both its edible properties and its ornamental role, this nasturtium has become a staple in natural gardens as a plant that is both decorative and useful.

In the garden, it develops a creeping or trailing habit, perfect for adorning borders or slopes where it acts as an effective ground cover. The Jewel nasturtium attracts numerous pollinators, especially bees, providing valuable support to local biodiversity while beautifying the space with its hues ranging from bright orange to deep red.

Its robust and generous nature also makes it a recommended companion for repelling certain pests, thus contributing to the natural balance of the garden. It is a cheerful presence that brightens every corner, inviting curiosity and creative gardening.
