Jewel-hued edible flowers adorn 3'-long trailing vines. In the 18th Century, during his massive botanical naming project, Carl Linnaeus learned that his daughter, Elizabeth, saw flashing when she looked at nasturtium flowers in the evening. Scientists of the day theorized about electricity, phosphorescence, and the paranormal. Linnaeus was content to dub it "The Elizabeth Linnaeus Phenomenon" and leave it at that. You, too, can observe it: it's an optical illusion caused by the interaction of green and orange in the pale light of dusk.

Bright blossoms sparkle in a vibrant display that lasts through the spring, summer, and fall and attracts pollinators. Sow seeds wherever you want a dash of color. Once established, plants need only minimal care. Sow in spring where bulbs such as crocus, daffodils, and tulips emerge, so that as your flower bulbs finish blooming, these flowers continue the show and fill the area with nonstop color. Many plants in this mix may reseed and come back the following year.

You can also sow half the seed 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date (hoping the last frost is earlier than usual) and sow the second half a week or two after your average last frost date (just to be safe). Mild Climates: Fall through early spring.

When to Start Inside: Not recommended.

Days to Emerge: 7–21 days

Seed Depth: ⅛"–¼"
