Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) is a perennial climber known for its vibrant flowers and edible leaves, though it is frost tender and often grown as an annual in temperate gardens. It is used ornamentally in gardens and as a companion plant for pest control. Nasturtium leaves and flowers are also used in salads for their peppery flavor.
