I made a cute trellis from grape vine cuttings last year to grow Malabar spinach, and while the spinach was perfect for the trellis, I learned that the spot (beside my front door) doesn't get as much full sun as I had thought and the spinach was not a success because the leaves wouldn't grow very big  .

Linda, I’ve grown lots of different types of nasturtiums - I love them. Only issue is that they hate hot weather which I have a lot of. I grow them under my fruit trees and in containers as a trailer.
You’d have to be careful training it up a trellis. The stems are really brittle.
I’ve seen ‘Moonlight’ in Select Seeds catalog. It’s very pretty.
