{{stub}}[[Image:Nasturtium tropaeolum flores.jpg|thumb|right|''Tropaeolum majus'']]'''Nasturtium''' is an annual to short-lived perennial plant. It can vary in habit from a dwarf plant growing only 30cm tall, to a climbing plant with stems up to 3.5 metres long. The stems scramble over the ground and into the surrounding vegetation, supporting themselves by twisting their leaf stalks around the plants.
