Latin Name: Tropaeolum majus ‘Gleam Series’ 

The Nasturtium ‘Trailing Dark Foliage Gleam’ is a striking, vining annual prized for its semi-double blooms and dramatic purple-tinged leaves. Reaching 5–6 feet (1.5–1.8 meters) in spread, it’s ideal for hanging baskets, trellises, or ground cover.

This cultivar features 2–3 inch (5–7 cm) fragrant, semi-double flowers in warm hues of gold, orange, and crimson, which pop against its deep blue-green to purple foliage. Blooms appear summer to frost, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators.

Thrives in full sun to partial shade and poor, well-draining soil; overly rich soil reduces flowering. Drought-tolerant once established, with edible leaves and flowers (peppery flavor for salads).

Perfect for spilling over walls or containers, pair with silver dichondra or blue lobelia for contrast.
