Nasturtium Nudiusculum

Nasturtium, scientifically known as Nasturtium nudiusculum, is a lesser-known yet fascinating member of the Brassicaceae family. Native to the mountainous regions of Central and South America, this plant thrives in cool, moist environments. Its strikingly colorful flowers, often in shades of red, orange, and yellow, add a vibrant touch to gardens and natural landscapes. Despite its beauty, Nasturtium nudiusculum is often overlooked in favor of its more popular relative, Tropaeolum majus. This plant not only serves as a ornamental addition but also holds potential for medicinal and culinary uses.
