Did you know?
Nasturtiums are beloved garden flowers prized as much for their peppery edible flowers and leaves as for their vibrant appearance. Native to South America, they thrive in poor soil and cool conditions, making them excellent companion plants for vegetables. The name derives from the Latin *nasus tortus* (twisted nose), referencing the distinctive spurlike nectary at the back of each bloom. Both ornamental and practical, nasturtiums have been cultivated in European gardens since the 16th century and remain popular for cottage gardening traditions.

Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern brings a cheerful cottage-garden arrangement to life on 65 × 65 Aida. Golden-yellow nasturtium blooms cascade across the design in a natural, abundant cascade, anchored by deep-green foliage and a warm terracotta container that grounds the composition with rustic charm.
Stitched in just three DMC thread colors, this beginner-friendly pattern offers quick, gratifying progress. The bold color blocking—saturated greens and rich golds against a white background—creates striking visual impact without complex shading or thread blending, making it ideal for newcomers to counted needlework.
Perfect for summer décor or as a gift for plant lovers, this nasturtium pot works beautifully on a kitchen shelf, framed above a windowsill, or stitched into a small pillow. The warm, naturalistic palette suits cottage, farmhouse, or traditional interiors, bringing botanical freshness to any room year-round.
