Tropaeolum majus
- Natural anti-biotic (tromalyt does not interfer with intestinal flora),
- peppery leaves and delicious flowers, pickled seeds (for use in salads, soups or as a unusal filling for sandwiches with freshly homebaked, whole grain bread.)
- wide variety of bright colours adds zest to your garden (long flowering season)
- aphids love them and will leave your other plants alone
- colourful pigment (Anthocyanins - type of flavonoid) is anti-oxident and a natural food colouring and plant dye.
