Marbled white and green leaves nasturtium.

Variegated nasturtium leaves are circular shield shaped leaves that grow on a trailing plant. My nasturtiums planted several weeks ago from seed are several inches high and most of the plants appear healthy except for several that have largish 1 1 1 2 white or cream color blotches on the leaves almost resembling bleach marks. Provide nutrient poor soil for best show as fertile soils promote lush leaves at the expense of flowers. Flowers summer to frost.

Marbled white and soft green foliage sets off the single cherry red blooms an unusual and coveted shade among nasturtiums which often tend toward scarlet tones. The leaves are conspicuously marbled in green and white and in themselves produce a very attractive plant. The leaves and flowers of this plant are edible and have the peppery taste of watercress. Alaska nasturtium have green and white marbled leaves that contrast nicely with its bright 2 inch yellow orange and crimson blooms.

They are mottled green and white in color with thin veins. Variegated naturtium leaves are fragrant with a mustard like scent.
