Tropaeolum majus 'Black Velvet' (Black Velvet Nasturtium)

Black Velvet Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus 'Black Velvet') is a stunning flowering annual admired for its rich, velvety deep burgundy to near-black blooms that create a dramatic contrast against its lush green foliage. The unique flowers bring bold colour and elegance to garden beds, borders, hanging baskets, and containers. Both the flowers and leaves are edible, offering a mildly peppery flavour that makes an attractive addition to salads and garnishes.

Easy to grow and fast to establish, Black Velvet Nasturtium thrives in full sun to part shade and performs well in a variety of well-drained soils. Its compact, trailing habit makes it ideal for cascading over retaining walls, softening garden edges, or filling containers with vibrant colour. Combining ornamental beauty with edible value, this eye-catching variety is a superb choice for gardeners seeking a distinctive and low-maintenance flowering plant.
