Nasturtium Sarmentosum

Nasturtium sarmentosum is a lesser-known member of the Tropaeolaceae family, often overshadowed by its more colorful relatives. This climbing vine is characterized by its slender stems and heart-shaped leaves that can turn a striking red or purple in certain conditions. Native to South America, it thrives in moist, shaded environments and is often found in tropical regions. Its flowers, though smaller than those of common nasturtiums, are no less vibrant, featuring a mix of yellow and orange hues. Despite its beauty, Nasturtium sarmentosum remains a relatively obscure plant in horticultural circles.
