Re: Nasturtium planting

Hi all,

This thread on nasturtiums has bothered me a little bit.

I really like nasturtiums - they're colourful, easy to grow, and as a
kid I loved sucking the nectar out of the flower (still do, even though
I'm 26).

But, I don't grow them, because I believe they attract cabbage white
butterflies. I have enough trouble with the cabbage whites in my
brassicas without attracting any more. Is the cabbage white not a
problem in the US, or is a myth (although I have seen cabbage whites
hovering over the nasturtiums)?
