Leaves shaped like English ivy and flame-shaped flower petals make Phoenix a unique twist on our favorite edible ornamental. The colours are a mix of warm shades, from scarlet to bronze, mahogany, and apricot. These plants are semi-trailing; they will cascade from hanging baskets or sit compactly in beds. The unusual ivy leaf and flower shape can be traced back to seed catalog offerings of the early 1900s, often listed simply as ivy-leaved nasturtium; this is a new spin on an antique novelty.
