Nasturtium
All parts of Nasturtium are edible. The flowers are used in salads sometimes. I have personally used it in a Christmas Punch before (we have a summer Christmas), and it added a joie de vivre to my drinkables.
Edible if no chemicals were used on it.. has a peppery bite
Nasturtium is right – To add, flowers are edible, grows quickly and on poor soils and it often found in vegetable gardens as a companion plant – stuff like aphids will usually go for this over a crop. Useful little plant all in.
As mentioned, it is edible and great as a seasoning. I dry the leaves & flowers and crush with a little salt to add to my eggs in the morning.
Tropaeolum majus, not to be confused with Nasturtium officinale
In French it’s called nombril de Venus, venus’ bellybutton, it’s edible
When I was a kid, my Mam grew one of these up the front of the house,.it covered the whole front window and was up to the top window. It looked absolutely awesome when covered in flowers.
Nasturtium officinale = watercress. Very healthy and spicy…similar to raddish a little bit in its delicious flavour… And very nice leaves and flowers to look at…

I used to have a bunch of those but I ate them into extinction. I should get more but they’d only fuel my addiction. lol
What is your location? Tropaeolum majus is incredibly invasive in coastal “California”. If you’re there, please consider eradicating this patch of it (and any more that you have perms to remove).
Love to put the flowers in salads
