{"product_id":"nasturtium-mahogany-organic","title":"Nasturtium Mahogany — Organic","description":"Forget everything you think you know about nasturtiums. Mahogany is in a class of its own: deep, velvety blooms in rich burgundy-mahogany tones, set against chartreuse lily-pad leaves that make the flowers glow like jewels. A plant as beautiful as any ornamental, while being entirely, deliciously edible from bloom to leaf to seed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHISTORY \u0026amp; HERITAGE: Nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus) were brought to Europe from Peru in the 16th century and quickly became beloved kitchen garden staples. Thomas Jefferson grew them at Monticello; Monet filled his garden at Giverny with them. Dark-flowered varieties like Mahogany became prized in Victorian cottage gardens for their dramatic color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCULINARY TIPS: Every part of this plant is edible. The flowers have a bright, peppery flavor — stuff them with herbed cream cheese, float them in cocktails, or scatter across salads and cheeseboards. The green seeds can be pickled to make \"poor man's capers\" — a tangy condiment for fish, pasta, and grain salads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGROWING GUIDE: Direct sow after last frost in full sun. Nasturtiums prefer lean soil — rich soil produces lush leaves but fewer flowers. Sow seeds 1\" deep, 10-12\" apart. Drought-tolerant once established. Deadhead regularly for continuous bloom. Excellent in containers, hanging baskets, and as a trailing edging for kitchen garden beds. Days to maturity: 55-65 days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLIMITED RELEASE — Available exclusively in our signature cello packets, each featuring a mailable postcard with original botanical artwork.","brand":"Orange Pippins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43137087733969,"sku":"SEED-NASTURTIUM-MAHOGANY-ORG","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/8178\/7857\/files\/IMG_6676.jpg?v=1780796439","url":"https:\/\/www.orangepippins.com\/products\/nasturtium-mahogany-organic","provider":"Orange Pippins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
