'''Nasturtium''' ({{pron-en|næˈstɜrʃ(i)əm}})<ref>{{OED|nasturtium}}</ref> literally "nose-twister" or "nose-tweaker"), as a common name, refers to a genus of roughly 80 species of [[Annual plant|annual]] and [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[herbaceous plant|herbaceous]] [[flowering plant]]s in the genus '''''Tropaeolum''''' ({{pron-en|trɵˈpiː.ələm}},<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607; {{OED|Tropaeolum}}</ref> "trophy"), one of three genera in the family [[Tropaeolaceae]]. It should not be confused with the [[Watercress]]es of the genus ''[[Nasturtium (genus)|Nasturtium]]'', of the [[Brassicaceae|Mustard]] family.
−
| latin_name = ''LATINNAME''   <!--- replace LATINNAME with the actual latin name -->
+
The genus ''Tropaeolum'', native to [[South America|South]] and [[Central America]], includes several very popular garden plants, the most commonly grown being ''T. majus'', ''T. peregrinum'' and ''T. speciosum''. The hardiest species is ''T. polyphyllum'' from [[Chile]], the perennial roots of which can survive underground when air temperatures drop as low as -15°C (5°F).
−
| common_names =    <!--- if multiple, list all, if none, leave blank -->
+
 
−
| growth_habit = ?  <!--- tree, shrub, herbaceous, vine, etc -->
+
They have showy, often intensely bright flowers (the intense color can make [[macrophotography]] quite difficult), and rounded, peltate ([[shield]]-shaped) leaves with the [[Petiole (botany)|petiole]] in the center. The flowers have five petals (sometimes more), a three-carpelled ovary, and a funnel-shaped nectar tube in the back.
−
| high = ?  <!--- 1m (3 ft) -->
+
 
−
| wide =    <!--- 65cm (25 inches) -->
+
In cultivation, most varieties of nasturtiums prefer to be grown in direct or indirect sunlight, with a few preferring partial shade.
−
| origin = ?  <!--- Mexico, S America, S Europe, garden, etc -->
+
 
−
| poisonous =    <!--- indicate parts of plants which are known/thought to be poisonous -->
+
The most common use of the nasturtium plant in cultivation is as an ornamental flower. It grows easily and prolifically, and is a self-seeding annual.
−
| lifespan =    <!--- perennial, annual, etc -->
+
 
−
| exposure = ?  <!--- full sun, part-sun, semi-shade, shade, indoors, bright filtered (you may list more than 1) -->
+
All parts of the plant are edible. The flower has most often been consumed, making for an especially ornamental salad ingredient; it has a slightly peppery taste reminiscent of [[watercress]], and is also used in [[stir fry]]. The unripe seed pods can be harvested and pickled with hot vinegar, to produce a condiment and garnish, sometimes used in place of [[capers]], although the taste is strongly peppery. The [[mashua]] (''T. tuberosum'') produces an edible underground [[tuber]] that is a major food source in parts of the [[Andes]].
−
| water = ?  <!--- frequent, regular, moderate, drought tolerant, let dry then soak -->
+
 
−
| features =    <!--- flowers, fragrance, fruit, naturalizes, invasive -->
+
Nasturtiums are also considered widely useful [[companion plant]]s. They repel a great many [[cucurbit]] pests, like [[squash bug]]s, [[cucumber beetle]]s, and several caterpillars. They had a similar range of benefits for [[brassica]] plants, especially [[broccoli]] and [[cauliflower]]. They also attract black fly [[aphids]], and are sometimes planted in the hope of saving crops susceptible to them (as a [[trap crop]]). They may also attract beneficial, predatory insects.
−
| hardiness =    <!--- frost sensitive, hardy, 5°C (40°F), etc -->
+
 
−
| bloom =    <!--- seasons which the plant blooms, if it is grown for its flowers -->
  −
| usda_zones = ?  <!--- eg. 8-11 -->
  −
| sunset_zones =    <!--- eg. 8, 9, 12-24, not available -->
  −
| color = IndianRed
  −
| image = Upload.png  <!--- Freesia.jpg -->

| image_width = 240px    <!--- leave as 240px if horizontal orientation photo, or change to 180px if vertical -->
